Cartier Bresson in Romania
in Photography , Monday, July 10, 2006
Sometime in the mid 1970s, I believe, Henri Cartier Bresson visited Romania. I've only ever found two photographs of this period, this one, of a couple sleeping on a CFR train, which was published in "De qui s'agit'il ?" -
- and this one, of Bucovina, which I think is from "Les Europeens"
If anybody reading this knows of any others, I'd be very interested to hear of them.
It is interesting, first because there is very little foreign photography of Romania of this period, at least that I know of, and secondly, because it was very late in HCB's active photographic career.
Cristian Paul, writing from Bucharest, published a brief mention of the CFR photo on his kit.blog, but that's all I can find.
