Henri Cartier-Bresson

Aperture presents an elegantly updated and refreshed edition of the classic Henri Cartier-Bresson volume in the Aperture masters of photography series. This edition includes new, image-by-image commentary and a chronology of this influential and iconic artist's life. Initially presented as the first volume of the History of photography series in 1976, the original volume was edited by legendary French publisher Robert Delpire. This redesigned and expanded version honors the selection of images from the original series, which Cartier-Bresson himself created with Delpire, encapsulating the spontaneity and intuition for which this legendary photographer is so celebrated.
