The photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson felt that New Jersey’s anywhere-ness, its density and diversity, was “a kind of shortcut through America.” View a collection of his images of the state, which have gone unseen for 50 years:
In 1975, the renowned photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson received an invitation to travel from Paris to America for what would become one of his final photographic projects. Choose any subject, anywhere, he was told. His choice? New Jersey.? He seemed delighted by his own provocation. “Why New Jersey?” he said. “Because people make such a funny face when you mention New Jersey.”
Cartier-Bresson followed a schedule at work, but “he would have the camera with him at all times,” Cunningham has said, including in the car. He viewed any alterations of his photographs as “degenerations.” During week four, a video crew was supposed to shadow Cartier-Bresson. But he considered anonymity essential, to the degree that he once travelled under the alias Hank Carter. When the day came, he fled. “We were chasing him through Newark in a little van,” Evans said. “He was like a gazelle. He ran through the backstreets avoiding us.”
On the first day of shooting, the photographer and his assistant emerged from the Holland Tunnel just after sunrise. At Trenton State Prison, Cartier-Bresson and Cunningham were allowed to roam. Prisoners were mostly locked in their cells, with some exceptions, such as this class.
