Reviews
This is an excellent book that deserves better promotion by Amazon.The book consists of--as the title plainly states--interviews and conversations. It is not a book of Cartier-Bresson's photographs. Do not be misled by the reviews that discuss photos supposedly reproduced in this book. There are NO photographs here. This is NOT a Cartier-Bresson monograph.What is here is excellent food for thought for photographers and artists who followed Cartier-Bresson's career and respected his work. He gives insight into his photography and art in general. Photographers who appreciate reportage and documentary work will especially be rewarded by this small book.It's too bad that Amazon has put reviews for other books by and about Cartier-Bresson into a blender with this volume and fouled the review section. The book deserves better.
