Behind the Gare St. Lazare
This is one of the most famous photos of french photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, who pioneered the art of street photography. He said of this picture: There was a plank fence around some repairs behind the Gare Saint-Lazare train station. I happened to be peeking through a gap in the fence with my camera at the moment the man jumped.
In spring 1947, Cartier-Bresson, with Robert Capa, David “Chim” Seymour, William “Bill” Vandivert, and George Rodger founded Magnum Photos. Capa’s brainchild, Magnum was a cooperative picture agency owned by its members.
