This month, Paris celebrates the photographic genius of 94 year old former photojournalist Henri Cartier-Bresson with a retrospective exhibition at the Bibliothèque National de France and the opening of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation. Cartier-Bresson abandoned photography in the mid-1970s and now prefers to discuss painting and drawing, his later passions: "[Photography] doesn't interest me, it never has. The only thing that has ever been important is drawing." He told his longtime mentor, the Greek-born critic and art publisher Teriade that he had gone as far as he could go in photography: "I knew I had nothing more to say. I felt it."
