Henri Cartier-Bresson: Here and Now
“The glories of [Cartier-Bresson’s] long career are beautifully curated by Clément Chéroux inHenri Cartier-Bresson: Here and Now, with almost every image indelible, even the images he shot in private.” (The Wall Street Journal)“Substantial and inclusive. . . . the standard narrative of the photographer, in which he moves from early surrealist concerns into photojournalism, becomes instead a narrative of diverse influences and concerns, ideals resonating and evolving across images. . . . The comprehensiveness and quality of this latest monograph distinguishes it as a significant contribution.” (Publishers Weekly)“Phenomenal.” (The Arts by Karena)“With rare and previously unpublished images. . . . The first retrospective since Cartier-Bresson’s death.” (PDN)“Provides a broad view of Cartier-Bresson’s long career.” (ARTnews)“It’s all here, in black-and-white and color—the photos of poverty, of scenes in various countries, the news photos of breaking incidents and so on.” (Women's Wear Daily)“The main effort here seems to be to separate Cartier-Bresson from the legacy of The Decisive Moment with which he has been so closely associated. Yes, he did formulate that philosophy but he was many other things as well: surrealist, activist, war prisoner, fugitive, international wanderer, communist, filmmaker, Magnum founder, reporter… All of these facets and more are explored in the book.” (Photo-Eye)“It’s hard to believe that Cartier-Bresson . . . still has work out there that is largely unseen. But printed in the 416 pages of this photographic compilation are familiar and unknown pieces, printed in color and in Cartier-Bresson’s signature black-and-white.” (Rangefinder)
