Guided tour of the exhibition "Henri Cartier-Bresson" by the Foundation’s Head of Collections Marie Koutsomallis-Moreau

On Monday September 30, the B&E Goulandris Foundation’s Head of Collections Marie Koutsomallis-Moreau will conduct two guided tours of the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibition exclusively for B&E Members at 19.00 and at 20.00.

The tribute to iconic photographer Cartier-Bresson, that is on display at the Foundation’s temporary exhibitions gallery until October 27, takes place with the contribution of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson and consists of two independent thematic sections.

The first section is dedicated to Cartier-Bresson’s monumental album The Decisive Moment (Images à la sauvette) that was published in 1952 and has been described by Robert Capa as “A Bible for photographers”. 76 out of the overall 126 photographs included in the album are on display, from his travels to countries like France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, India, China, Indonesia and Burma.

The second section, titled Greece, features the photographs that Cartier-Bresson took during his three trips to Greece in 1937, 1953 and 1961 that come together and go on display for the first time. The photographs, most of them unpublished, are essentially a journey to different regions and archaeological sites around Greece and are accompanied by rich and unpublished archive material.
