Book Description: Thames and Hudson, London, 2009. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. 184 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. New book. PHOTOGRAPHY. An unrivalled opportunity to confront and compare the visions of these photographic masters. Walker Evans and Henri Cartier-Bresson belonged to the same generation and shared an insatiable intellectual curiosity. Their works were exhibited together in 1935 at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York, and they shared a period working in America when Cartier-Bresson was preparing his show at the Museum of Modern Art between 1946 and 1947. This book draws a parallel between their work about America. As John Szarkowski, Director of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, argued, 'Evans defined in his work the essence of the documentary aesthetic.' Cartier-Bresson, on the other hand, was making a fresh start, leaving behind his work in moving imagery and embracing a career as a stills photographer. But they were both approaching their work as a form of social criticism, imbued with references to literature and painting. Agns Sire is Director of the Fondation Cartier-Bresson in Paris. Jean-Franois Chevrier is an art historian, art critic and exhibition curator. He is lecturer in the History of Contemporary Art at the ƒcole nationale supŽrieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and a contributor to Galeries Magazine. "Cartier-Bresson was and is a true man of the eye. More, he was one of the few innovators in photography" - Walker Evans on the American publication of Henri Cartier-Bresson's The Decisive Moment,1952 'If it had not been for the challenge of the work of Walker Evans, I don't think I would have remained a photographer' - Henri Cartier-Bresson, 2001 Includes 120 tritone images.
