Edited by Clement Chéroux
The first scholarly, lavishly illustrated biography of French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, on the occasion of his 100th birthday. The story of his life reads like a novel: a gifted young man from a wealthy Paris family finds his calling via painting, the Surrealists, acting, and filming. Turning his Leica camera into a magic instrument, he revolutionizes the art of photography.
