This is a beautiful book of duotones of Cartier-Bresson's work. It features the most famous photographs Henri has ever photographed and because it was excellently printed, you can truly feel the images with such intensity. This is a definite book to own if you love Henri's work.

Excellent!! Cartier-Bresson has got to be among the top 2 or 3 photographers in history. The book contains 155 images presented in a good large format perfect for viewing. You get all of the details. I can sit for hours slowly moving from photo to photo. I am a photographer. This book is teaching me so much about the decisive moment and moods as related to photography. I cannot say enough about the book. Every person interested in photography should have and study this book!!

THE Cartier-Bresson book to own. The reproductions are high-quality and large, the selection is superb, the book is made to last. Almost all my favorites are here. In short, worth the high price. He always deserved a book like this.

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.

Most photographers at one point or another come across Henri Cartier-Bresson's his photos
emphasize that what matters is this: the moment is important. When Shooting a scene in which there is action-
there are some moments that are "better" than others. Perhaps I should say "stronger."

This Album is must have for who sees phtography as way of life.

One wonders whether the master himself was fully satisfied with the odd choice of dust jacket.
The US version of this stunning tome sports a poo-brown jacket with a 70's style red letraset font.
But, I forgive this misdemeanour, for the book is a most joyous celebration of that most brilliant of photographers. Along with a recent acquisition of Eugene Atget's catalogue (in book form I hasten to add), this new addition to my library exhibits a lustrous catalogue of duo-tone plates (hand picked by the maestro himself, no less)and I think should be buried with me when I too shuffle off this mortal coil.
Until that day I will luxuriate in this splendidly printed treasure trove of wondrous images.
I have exhausted all my superlatives!

If you like the work of Master Cartier-Bresson, this is a "must have".
Wonderful black and white pictures on good paper.
It's always a pleasure to flip through these pages.
True poetry.
