Henri Cartier Bresson
I find this photograph rather funny, as these people have all come to the sea side, and are sunbathing, but are clothed head to toe. This is rather contradicting, even though it would have been the norm at the time, and it would have been frowned upon to show skin. The people in the foreground have no identity whatsoever, as they're wearing all black clothing and have their faces covered by an umbrella. All you can tell about them is that they seem to be of middle class and work in some kind of formal environment, as is the same with the majority of the people in the beach. The one anomaly in the scene is the lone child in the upper right corner, who seems to belong to no one in shot, but is at least part of what I would call the beach crowd; families and children having fun.
