Description
Henri Cartier-Bresson: Paris is a remarkable collection of 160 photographs taken by one of the world's most acclaimed photographers over a career spanning more than fifty years. The city of Paris played a pivotal role in his artistic journey, and this volume showcases the strong influence of pioneering documentary photographer Eugene Atget on Cartier-Bresson's work, as well as the visual links with surrealism that infused his early pictures. The photographs in this book reveal Cartier-Bresson's skill as a supreme observer of human life, capturing the movement and rhythms of daily life in Paris. From the Liberation from the Nazis in 1944 to the civil disturbances of May 1968, and from native Parisians going about their lives to photographing celebrated artists, writers, politicians, and anonymous citizens, Cartier-Bresson's camera was always by his side. This collection is not only a superb portrait of Paris in the twentieth century but also a testament to Cartier-Bresson's enduring legacy as one of the world's greatest photographers.
