Henri Cartier-Bressons photography came to define the 20th century. This book tells his life story through his images: all the major events from his youth to his death in 2004 are described, contextualized and analysed in the light of his photographic work. From his early encounters with the Surrealists, his film work and his experiences in the SecondWorldWar, to the development of his own personal aesthetic, the concept of the decisive moment, and the foundation of Magnum Photos, his influence on the world has been profound and unforgettable.

Customer Reviews

Too small sized
I found the graphics rather crammed and irritating. And anyway the book is so small that you will certainly not be able to appreciate Bresson's lovely pictures as they deserve to be. Don't bother.

rubbish book!
small, badly printed (on what feels like magazine paper), awful selection of his photos (which are crammed so many to a page it's a waste of time.
There's a reason this book is so cheap!
