Tier justification

Tier 3: Wikipedia is pointer-only per CREDIBILITY.md. Used here strictly to record day-month tokens (22 August 1908 / 3 August 2004) and exact place tokens (Chanteloup-en-Brie, Céreste, Montjustin) that the Tier-1 ICP archive page (src-icp-cartier-bresson-archive) and Tier-3 Magnum directory (src-magnum-photographer-bios) state at year-only resolution. Promotion to Tier 1/2 awaits a fetch of the Foundation Henri Cartier-Bresson biography page or a peer-reviewed Cartier-Bresson monograph.

Key excerpts / pages

Verbatim from the article (fetched 2026-05-06):

  • Opening sentence: “Henri Cartier-Bresson (French: [ɑ̃ʁi kaʁtje bʁɛsɔ̃]; 22 August 1908 – 3 August 2004) was a French humanist photographer, and also an artist.”
  • Birth: 22 August 1908 in Chanteloup-en-Brie, France.
  • Death: 3 August 2004 in Céreste, France (aged 95).
  • Burial place: Montjustin, France.

Notes

  • Per CREDIBILITY.md, Wikipedia is treated as a pointer source. The 1908 / 2004 year-only resolution is independently anchored at Tier 1 by the ICP archive page; the day-month tokens carry pointer status.
  • The Magnum directory page (fetched 2026-04-24, src-magnum-photographer-bios) gives “born 1908 in Chanteloup, Seine-et-Marne, France” and “died August 3, 2004 at his home in Provence (age 95)” — Provence framing rather than the specific Céreste location given in the Wikipedia infobox. The two are not contradictory (Céreste is in Provence) but not redundantly anchored at Tier 1/2 either.
