Henry Cartier-Bresson was born in 1908 in France. He is known for "The Decisive Moment", a book published in 1952 which became synonymous with his style of photography. This picture was taken the same year as his first exhibition, which was in New York.
He states, "...the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity...it is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression." (partial quotation)
What I appreciate about this particular photograph is that even though these children are growing up in a war-torn environment, they still find joy in their surroundings and with each other.
