Seeing the world through the eyes of Henri Cartier-Bresson.
| Customer Rating: | "In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotif."-- Henri Cartier-Bresson
Let me join in the choir singing praise for this collection of 155 photographs. French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) knew Paris. He studied at the École Fénelon and then at a private art school, the Lhote Academy, before turning to photography with his Leica camera. "I suddenly understood that a photograph could fix eternity in an instant,' he said. "I prowled the streets all day, feeling very strung-up and ready to pounce, ready to 'trap' life." Although Cartier-Bresson's photography took him many places, including China, Mexico, Canada, the United States, India, Japan, and Soviet Union, it was perhaps Paris that was his favorite subject.
Cartier-Bresson's photographs are a rare experience in truly seeing the world, whether it's a simple reflection in a puddle of water, or the beauty in a lovers' kiss. He was a master at capturing the significance of an event in his work, as well as the precise organization of forms which gives that event its proper expression: the "decisive moment," as he called it. Drawing from photographs taken over a period of 50 years, these 155 black-and-white photographs are definitive Cartier-Bresson. This superb collection offers a rare experience in seeing the world through the eyes of someone who knew his subject well, Henri Cartier-Bresson. I have this book on my coffee table.

In memoriam of a genius!
| Customer Rating: | Our affective and existential memory not only has been not only enhanced, but enriched in sum grade due the photography in a good portion of its nature, and being the memory the human form of the time, Cartier-Bresson knew to achieve and freeze the actuality to become eternity.
We are commemorating the first centenary of the birth of this giant of the photography. Looking Cartier-Bresson's work we use to remind that admirable sentence of Renoir. " We should remind that a field of wheat painted by Van Gogh can arouse a stronger emotion than a field of wheat in nature."
The astonishing atmosphere displayed around every single picture of this genius of the lens arouses that authentic sensitivity, artistic conviction and supreme commitment that signed his life.
That book is by far one of the most excel and must-have references to keep in mind him.
