Devoted to Henri Cartier-Bresson’s phenomenal output of work, the book “The man, the image and the world ” illuminates the work of the photographer. From his earliest photographs to those published in the press, the book, forsaking the thematic approach, boldly focuses on the multifarious facets of Henri Cartier-Bresson. The book is enhanced with texts by Philippe Arbaïzar, Jean Clair, Claude Cookman, Robert Delpire, Peter Galassi, Jean-Noël Jeanneney, Jean Leymarie and Serge Toubiana that skilfully unlock the secrets of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s work. In addition, an extensive and hitherto unpublished bibliography recounts the story of his ilife’s work.
