Henri Cartier-Bresson: Europeans
Jean Clair
|
| ‘Cartier-Bresson’s influence has been immense … he has been largely responsible … for our sense of how modern life looks’ | | — London Review of Books |
| ‘Demonstrates that he is perhaps the only genuine master of twentieth-century photography’ | | —The Observer |
| ‘He is a classic, and perhaps the only true classic the art of photography has produced ’ | | — Tim Hilton, The Independent on Sunday |
| ‘One of the great artists of the century’ | | — Peter Galassi, Chief Curator, Department of Photography, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Sunday Telegraph |
In this moving collection of images, exhibited to great acclaim at the Hayward Gallery in 1998, the celebrated photographer has recorded what it means to be European. Spanning the years from the late 1920s to the early 1990s, his photographs speak of the ongoing business of living for people across Europe, whether Polish priests or Abruzzi peasants.
With his remarkable ability to capture the fragile reality of European life, Henri Cartier-Bresson once again underscores his reputation as one of the 20th century’s most influential and original photographers. |
