Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Mind’s Eye

Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Mind’s Eye

MonoVisions Black & White Photo Contest 2024

Henri Cartier-Bresson’s writings on photography and photographers have been published sporadically over the past 45 years. His essays several of which have never before been translated into English are collected here for the first time. The Mind’s Eye features Cartier-Bresson’s famous text on “the decisive moment” as well as his observations on Moscow, Cuba and China during turbulent times. These essays ring with the same immediacy and visual intensity that characterize his photography.
