Henri Cartier-Bresson's work embraced art, politics, revolution, and war. But more powerful than any of these overarching themes was his evident concern for the human individual at every social level. This lavishly illustrated monograph - published to accompany France's first major retrospective since the photographer's death in 2004 - traces Cartier-Bresson's development as a photographer, activist, journalist, and artist. In addition to some of Cartier-Bresson's best-known photographs, included here are many seldom seen or unpublished images and some rarities in color as well as black-and-white. From his earliest photographs in Paris in the 1920s and Africa in the 1930s, Cartier-Bresson's capacity to conjure coherence and harmony out of a chaotic world appears effortless and innate - a deep-centered attitude rather than a merely learned technique. His observations of the effects of poverty and revolution around the world led directly to his pioneering photojournalism and to his co-founding of Magnum Photos. He became renowned for his penetrating portraits of the most prominent figures of his time, becoming, in the words of his biographer Pierre Assouline, 'the eye of the century." -- Publisher.

"While the work of Duane Michals has always been personal, ABCDuane is the first book to act as a visual memoir by this living legend. Duane Michals is the foremost visual storyteller of our time, and in ABCDuane, he wends through his own creative and biographical narrative in depth. The alphabet explodes into a mythopoeic system in the artist's hands, careening through the ideas, artists, and themes that obsess him. The book is heavily illustrated not only with Michals's own works--including rarely seen and never-before-published portraits, painted tintypes, and color pieces--but also with pieces from his private art collection, donated to the Carnegie Museum of Art. Whether a portrait of Eugene Atget by Berenice Abbott, a collage by Joseph Cornell, or an etching by Manet, the works of these masters sit side by side with Michals's inspired images, further revealing the artist's creative process. Funny, intimate, and unguarded, ABCDuane is the perfect primer and creative autobiography of this beloved artist"--

"David Seymour dit Chim fut, avec Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa et George Rodger, l'un des fondateurs de la prestigieuse agence Magnum en 1947. Ce livre est la première monographie et biographie consacrée à ce photojournaliste hors du commun que l'auteur porte enfin à la lumière en dévoilant certains aspects de sa vie privée qui n'étaient pas connus jusqu'à la découverte récente de plus de six cents documents dans l'appartement de son neveu Ben Shneiderman. Le texte met en avant l'itinéraire d'un intellectuel exilé et son engagement politique à gauche durant les débuts du Front populaire puis la guerre d'Espagne où il s'engagea pour les républicains aux côtés de Robert Capa, de Gerda Taro et de nombreux correspondants européens et espagnols en publiant ses images dans les grands magazines de l'époque comme Regards, Life ou Vu, en portant son attention sur les plus vulnérables. Après 1949, Chim travailla à une vitesse folle, évitant le terrain de la Shoah où il avait perdu tous ses parents et amis pour passer de plus en plus de temps en Grèce et en Italie, notamment à Rome où il couvrit le milieu des arts, des lettres et du cinéma, avec ses multiples portraits de personnalités. En 1956, Chim et son collègue Jean Roy furent fauchés par une rafale de mitraillettes égyptiennes."--P. [4] of cover.

Born in Cork, Ireland, Frank Browne (1880-1960) was both a distinguished Jesuit and an accomplished photographer. At age 17, before commencing his studies for the priesthood, he embarked on a tour of Europe armed with a camera. Browne quickly discovered a strong affinity for photography, and continued to take photographs throughout his life. It was not until 1985, however--when Father Edward O'Donnell SJ discovered a large trunk in the Irish Jesuit Provincial's House and found it packed with negatives and photographs--that Browne was catapulted to international fame. Father Browne's remarkable life is recorded in the superb selection of images presented in this book. With wit and a sharp eye, he observed 20th-century Ireland; life as a Jesuit priest; his experience as a passenger on the first leg of the voyage of the Titanic in 1912; and his later travels throughout Europe, Egypt, Yemen, Ceylon, and Australia.--Amazon.com.
