Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) studied painting before taking up photography in his early twenties. One of the founders of the photography agency Magnum (together with Robert Capa and others), he is best known for the consummate skill with which he captured the most fleeting of scenes.
This volume includes selections from his photographs of France, Spain, America, India, Russia, Mexico and pre-revolutionary China. Introduced by Michael Bresson, it show clearly how, for Cartier-Bresson, art is an expression of common humanity.
