Cartier Bresson was an extremely fast worker, and came from a painting background. so he obviously had an artists eye.
However Photography and especially reportage Photography was not accepted as art during most of his working life. He like the other Magnum photographers, always had a close eye on the Financial aspect of his profession, as well as maintaining the highest standard of work.
His photography ended at the taking stage... as he used a professional printer to complete his work.

Quote:

There must be a few not so decisive moments lurking in his negative files which he refused to print because they didn't cut it artistically...?

Are you suggesting the selection process is a major factor in deciding if a photograph is art.
