About this title: Henri Cartier-Bresson reveals--as only a few great artists have done consistently--the variety and richness of human experience in the twentieth century. This second volume of Aperture's Masters of Photography series confirms the genius of the photographer who--with the new, smaller, hand-held cameras and faster films--defined the idea of "the decisive moment" in photography. Cartier-Bresson's imagery is intimate but utterly respectful of his subjects. In his travels throughout the world, he has captured glimpses of individual lives in scores of countries. Taken together, Cartier-Bresson's ...

"One in the Aperture Series that like so many others, is great as far as it goes. Thus the 3 Stars rather than 4. The quality writing and beautiful image selection and reproduction are first rate in all these books. As a comparative reference to the 'other photographers' in the series these are essential library additions for the photographer/historian, art-artist/historian, etc. As definitive works for photographers in the series they are slightly lacking.
HC-B is a somewhat difficult subject due to the breadth of time his productive career covered. Do you spend more time on MAGNUM work or on his 'personal' work? Is the 'street' photography element more important or is the war and journalism coverage of greater important. In a book of this brevity these are valid editorial questions.
Well done, just not enough and as with all of these works, I would have liked a different physical format in dimension. Also like the rest of the Aperture series, this book does inspire most to look farther for more information and other works.
A starting point and the whole set or sets of this collection is quite a start on a compact history of photography."
"HCB... his photographs need no explanations; they always speak volumes all by their lonesome. The biggest thrill would be to see them mounted on a wall, but this small book's display of them does these 40 plus classic shots justice and is so inspiring that it warrants many viewings. Most of the material in this book predates the 60's and the proof of their brilliance is that they still hold much value way into the 21st Century."
"This was one of my first picture-books as a child. It was not until many years into my career as a news photographer that I realized that the book's photographs were actually by the esteemed Henri Cartier-Bresson. Perhaps impeding the realization was the, gasp, adequacy of the photos. Sorry, Henri, not your finest.
(Incidentally, the title of this book is Cartier-Bresson's France. Text is by François Nourissier.)"
