Valencia, Spain 1933

"Valencia, Spain" is a 1933 photograph by Henri Cartier-Bresson, a pioneer of street photography and photojournalism. The image depicts a young boy standing in front of a textured wall in Valencia, Spain. The wall’s peeling paint, contrasting with the boy’s youthful innocence, creates a poignant visual. This street scene, captured in black and white, exemplifies Cartier-Bresson's concept of "the decisive moment," where he masterfully captured a fleeting, unplanned moment in a candid and compelling way.
