He wound up staying for ten months and captured some of the most spectacular moments in China's history: he photographed Beijing in \"the last days of the Kuomintang,\" and then headed back to Shanghai, where he bore witness to the new regime's takeover. Moreover, in 1958, Henri Cartier-Bresson was one of the first Western photographers to go back to China to explore the changes that had occurred over the preceding decade. The \"picture stories\" he sent to Magnum and \u003cem\u003eLife\u003c\/em\u003e on a regular basis played a key role in Westerners' understanding of Chinese political events. Many of these images are among the best-known and most significant photographs in Cartier-Bresson's oeuvre; his empathy with the populace and sense of responsibility as a witness making them an important part of his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eHenri Cartier-Bresson: China 1948-1949, 1958\u003c\/em\u003e allows these photographs to be reexamined along with all of the documents that were preserved: the photographer's captions and comments, contact sheets, and abundant correspondence, as well as the published versions that appeared in both American and European magazines.
