Henri Cartier-Bresson traveled the globe to document some of the 20th century’s most significant moments. In Seville, Spain, Cartier-Bresson photographed a group of young boys playing amidst the rubble of a crumbling building. A young boy on crutches in the foreground appears to be the subject of the others' laughing and teasing.

Henri Cartier-Bresson (French, 1908–2004) is widely revered as the father of photojournalism and was a co-founder of Magnum Photos. In 1952, he released his groundbreaking monograph, Images à la Sauvette (The Decisive Moment), which has influenced generations of photographers. He is the recipient of four Overseas Press Club of America Award (1948, 1954, 1960, 1964); Prix de la Société Française de Photographie (1959); and the Grand Prix National de la Photographie (1981). His works are included in the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, United Kingdom; Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel; the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Kahitsukan Kyoto Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyoto, Japan; among others.
