The richly illustrated coffee-table book *Henri Cartier-Bresson: Here and Now* traces the career of Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) as a photographer, activist, journalist, and artist. An indispensable work for photography enthusiasts and admirers of Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004), whose influence remains as strong as ever today. In addition to some of his best-known photographs, the book features many rarely seen or unpublished images, as well as several rare prints in both color and black-and-white.
His work encompassed art, politics, revolution, and war. But more powerful than all these overarching themes was his clear concern for the individual at every social level. Cartier-Bresson’s observations of the effects of poverty and revolution around the world led directly to his groundbreaking photojournalism and his co-founding of Magnum Photos. He also gained fame for his penetrating portraits of the most prominent figures of his time: Cartier-Bresson’s biographer Pierre Assouline called him ‘the eye of the century.’.
