"Hyères, France" (1932) -.© Henri Cartier-Bresson/Magnum Photos, Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson

A photography, as far as it entries into the realm of art, is forever. It will be seen for generations even if without being possible to conclude completely what, exactly, makes it so attractive. These photographs are, however, only a very little proportion among the almost infinite number of photographs that are possible to produce today. The difference is that while these later disappear as soon as they are produced, the former will remain as references of our aesthetic perception of the world.

Accordingly Carol Strickland, "Hyères, France" (1932) is an arresting image of a boy whizzing by on a bicycle. The camera literally arrests his speed as he rounds a curve, which elegantly echoes a flight of stairs spiraling down.
"I prowled the streets all day," Cartier-Bresson explained, "feeling very strung up and ready to pounce, determined to 'trap' life – to preserve life in the act of living." One can almost see him roaming the boulevards, stalking his prey: juxtapositions that yield surprising epiphanies,
