Henri Cartier-Bresson was 'the eye of the 20th century' and one of
the world's most acclaimed photographers. Paris was his home, on
and off, for most of his life (1908-2004). The photographs he took
of the city and its people manage to be both dreamlike and free of
affectation. Here are around 160 photographs taken over a more than
fifty-year career. Mostly in black and white, this selection
reveals the strong influence on Cartier-Bresson of pioneering
documentary photographer Eugene Atget (1857-1927), and the clear
visual links with Surrealism that infused Cartier-Bresson's early
pictures. After an apprenticeship with Cubist painter Andre Lhote,
in 1932 Cartier-Bresson bought his first Leica, a small portable
camera that allowed him to capture movement and the rhythms of
daily life in Paris. Cartier-Bresson observed from close quarters
the Liberation in August 1944 and the civil disturbances of May
1968. In between he also succeeded in capturing the faces of
Parisians in their natural habitat, celebrated artists and writers
and citizens alike. Ever-attentive to different ways of portraying
the city around him, Cartier-Bresson returned to drawing during the
last two decades of his life. This collection is not only a superb
portrait of Paris in the 20th century, it is testament to
Cartier-Bresson's skill as a supreme observer of human life. With
200 illustrations
