Henri Cartier-Bresson: Collector’s Edition

Henri Cartier-Bresson may be considered the father of modern photojournalism, but he was not solely a photographer. Several documentaries he shot between the 1930s and the 1970s bear witness to his affection for the cinema, a medium that he sees as “an alternative to photography in the way it sees the world and captures its movement.” This lavish collector’s edition includes: a series of documentaries about the artist, which allows us to (re)discover his powerful and rare photographic work; five major works directed by Cartier-Bresson himself; and a 32-page illustrated collectible book containing criticism of his work as well as reproductions of his legendary photographs.
