We were browsing Magnum Photo’s new website the other day and had a quick look again at the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson. Here are fifteen of his photographs of Asia we thought worth spotlighting once more. Bresson spent much time in Asia, and was married once to a Javanese dancer called Ratna Mohini.
