| SPAIN. 1933. SPAIN. 1933. by Henri Cartier-Bresson is done in black and white, and while it may have been necessary at the time, also adds to the drama of the photo. The man in the photo is clearly broken. is teeth are jagged and missing, he looks dirty, his clothes are ripped and he wears a hardened look on his face. It's easy to imagine the man having a hard, tough life. The juxtaposition of the painting of the woman holding the scales of justice is perfect with the hard life the man has lived. Where's his justice? Henri Cartier-Bresson is considered the father of photojournalism, and explained the difference between photography and art as the photographer being creative for a split second of time, and truly capturing a moment. |
