Book Reviews of Henri Cartier-Bresson (Masters)
Book Review: A True Master
Summary: 5 Stars
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 makes 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.
