Presumed Innocence
Anne Higonnet, Rachel Lafo

DeCordova Museum, 2008

...Found Otherwise
Spanning several continents and encompassing nearly the entire history of photography, Presumed Innocence examines the other side of childhood through the eyes of some of the most notable photographers in the history of the art. Not too surprisingly from the title, the ...
  
  











  



  
The Mind's Eye: Writings on Photography and Photographers

Aperture, 1999

An Apologia For Intuition
Yes, this is a small book, and, possibly too much of it is taken up in verbal bouquets tossed to old friends, tourist information about side-trips to various countries, and practical advice to would-be photojournalists. But those asides aren't the guts of this ...
  
  











  



  
Henri Cartier-Bresson: Photographer
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Bulfinch, 1992

Beautiful!
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 Cartier-Bresson: A Propos de Paris
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Bulfinch, 1998

Amazing!
As my favourite photographer, Cartier-Bresson has some kind of impayable discernment. His gallery of Paris is his magnum opus. His Leica, his 50mm lens, his mysterious face... all made him a monumental legend. I bought this gallery (hardcover) in 1995 for the price of ...
  
  











  



  
Henri Cartier-Bresson in India

Thames & Hudson, 2006

a worthy addition to your library
I recently purchased this book, as well as Cartier-Bresson's books about Paris and Mexico, and as much as I like the other two books, I think that this is definitely the best of the three books. Whereas the subjects of the other two books are of more of an artistic or ...
  
  











  



  
Henri Cartier-Bresson: Scrapbook

Thames & Hudson, 2007

Process of Selection
I have liked HCB for about six years. I first saw his picture where a man, caught in mid-air,jumps across a puddle. I still think that this is one of the best photographs ever made. In the scrapbook, the reader gets to see the many different shots, that made up the ...
  
  











  



  
Henri Cartier-Bresson (Aperture Masters of Photography)

Aperture, 1997

A True Master
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 ...
  
  











  



  
An Inner Silence: The Portraits of Henri Cartier-Bresson
Agnes Sire, Jean-Luc Nancy

Thames & Hudson, 2006

An eye that truly saw the inner silence . . .
As you browse the millions of photos available on Flickr and other web photo sharing sites, it is apparent that most people wielding a camera do not - cannot - aspire to the special talent of Henri Cartier-Bresson. Renowned for capturing the "decisive moment," ...
  
  











  



  
Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Man, The Image & The World: A Retrospective
Peter Galassi, Jean Clair, ...

Thames & Hudson, 2006

A must if HCB is your cup of tea!
I put off buying this book as long as I could and eventually I did, having in the meantime manhandled book store copies. It is difficult to get too much HCB and this offers a lot in one package. I take minor exception to HCB as elevating photography to art -- he is ...
  
  











  



  
Discoveries: Henri Cartier-Bresson (Discoveries (Abrams))
Clement Cheroux

Abrams, 2008

Born in 1908 in France, Henri Cartier-Bresson is considered to be the father of modern photojournalism. Early on he adopted the versatile 35mm format and helped develop the popular ?street photography? style, influencing generations of photographers that followed. In his own words, he expressed that ?the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of ...
  
  











  



  
Street Photography: From Atget to Cartier-Bresson
Clive Scott

I. B. Tauris, 2007

extremely thorough
this is extremely thorough if not slightly wordy opus. While reading, it gave the impression of a major paper written for peer review. On the downside I felt that it was not overtly aimed toward the "layperson" photographer. If I were to be in a place to ask, I would ...
  
  











  



  
Henri Cartier-Bresson: Mexican Notebooks 1934-1964
Henri Cartier-Bresson, Cartier-Bresson Bresson

Thames & Hudson, 1996

Mexico uncovered
There is a consistant light which runs through Cartier-Bresson's work. It is the late afternoon light or the early morning glow, that enters his leica. We see it in the streets, behind the waitress in the Mexican bar as she leans unknowingly towards Cartier-Bresson's ...
  
  











  



  
Robert Capa: Photographs
Robert Capa

Aperture, 2001

Pure empathy
Ordinary people caught under extraordinary circumstances are what give these images the power that they have and elicit pure empathy from the viewer. Robert Capa earned his place in photographic history and left behind a body of work for us to consider...
  
  











  



  
The Galveston That Was (Sara and John Lindsey Series in the Arts and Humanities, No 5)
Howard Barnstone

Texas A&M University Press, 1999

Beautiful photos; fascinating history
The city of Galveston, Texas was a vibrant, prosperous port at the start of the 20th century, outstripping even New Orleans. Fine Victorian homes were built by prosperous merchants, many in grand style. The deadly hurricane of 1900 dealt the city a blow from which ...
  
  











  



  
Transcendental Style In Film (Da Capo Paperback)
Paul Schrader

Da Capo Press, 1988

a simple and great book
Paul Schrader tells us what transcendental/transcendent means and what's transcendental style in movies. He tells all that information in a simple style and gives important analyses from Ozu's, Bresson's and Dreyer's films..
