 Herni Cartier Bresson, Aperture Masters July 6, 2008
Cartier Bresson is one of my two favorite photographers (Minor White is the other). This small book of his prints is a wonderful thing to have in my house, and to share with my friends.
Collection of classic works from HCB April 15, 2008
It's a great collection of classic work of HCB. Surprisely, some the pictures are named "untitled" in HCB's Paris book, but they have title name along with some descriptions. Good intro to HCB!

A lovely little book showing the most famous pictures of Henri Cartier-Bresson on 95 pages only. A must-have for the Cartier-Bresson fans or a great first book to have on this fabulous photographer.
A True Master October 5, 2005
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
If Cartier-Bresson did not invent the art of 35mm street photography, he certainly brought it to the attention of other serious photographers and the public. Trained as a painter, his eye for composition was unerring, but it was his instinct for the defining human gesture--that he termed "the decisive moment"--that made him one of the immortals of photographic history. As one of the founding members of Magnum, he changed the way we think of photographs and the way we see the world. This book is an introduction to his work. As such, it's all too short, but the economical format make it possible to see a few decent examples of his work and perhaps to inspire further study. He was a true master of the art.
Nice little collection January 8, 2005

This collection is a nice, compact, and inexpensive sample of Cartier-Bresson's photographs. I would have prefered the book to be a little larger to allow for bigger pictures. The print quality is decent. I was disappointed that my favorite photograph by him, the one of the bicyclist going by the staircase entitled "Hyeres, France", was absent.
