Summary
In December 1948, Henri Cartier-Bresson travelled to China at the request of Life magazine. He stayed for ten months and captured some of the most spectacular moments in China's history: he photographed Beijing in "the last days of the Kuomintang", and then headed back to Shanghai, where he recorded the new regime's takeover. Moreover, in 1958, Henri Cartier-Bresson was one of the first Western photographers to go back to China to explore the changes that had occurred over the preceding decade. The "picture stories" he sent to Magnum and Life on a regular basis played a role in Westerners' understanding of Chinese political events. 'Henri Cartier-Bresson in China' allows these photographs to be re-examined along with all of the documents that were preserved: the photographer's captions and comments, contact sheets, and correspondence, as well as the published versions that appeared in both American and European magazines.
