Bresson began photographing seriously in 1930, acquiring a Leica, which was used throughout his career photographing some of the 20th century’s most important events. Bresson co-founded Magnum Photos with Robert Capa, David Seymour, and George Rodger. After 1970, Bresson turned to drawing, photographing only occasionally.
Physical DescriptionA photograph of twelve men in a field, wearing hunting gear and holding bows and arrows. In the foreground, a man kneels on the ground while everyone else stands.
