Synopsis

Henri Cartier-Bresson photographed some of the icons of the 20th century, those few people among millions whose images will pass into history. This title presents a selection of Cartier-Bresson's memorable portraits, including such diverse personalities as Pablo Picasso, Carl Jung, Marilyn Monroe, Truman Capote, Lucian Freud, and Susan Sontag.

About this title

Review:

Highly recommended for all libraries.

The pose reflects nothing so much as motion stilled for a moment--and thereby, once caught on film, for an eternity.

The master of the 'decisive moment' brought the same ability to capture the essence of a situation to his portraiture.

Cartier-Bresson set out to unmask mysteries--the mystery of a photograph, of a human being who happened to be his subject that day and, perhaps, even of human connection itself.
