內容簡介
內容簡介 不論您有沒有看過他的作品，只要您對於攝影略知一二，就一定聽過這位傳奇攝影師的名字－卡提耶‧布列松。本書不僅是布列松經典作品的再次回顧，同時也收錄他先前從未發表的作品，喜愛攝影的您千萬別錯過。卡提耶‧布列松的作品從來無法被輕易地定義，同時跨越藝術、政治、革命和戰爭等不同的範疇，其中對於人性的洞察，更讓他的作品充滿撼動人心的力量。在布列松於2004年逝世之後，2014年適逢他逝世的十週年，法國巴黎龐畢度中心首次為他規劃了一場大型的回顧特展，從他的不同身分如攝影師、社運份子、記者和藝術家等，一一回溯他的生命軌跡，而本書則是隨著展覽而出版的專書。除了眾多布列松的經典代表作之外，書中還收錄部分從未發表的作品，包括黑白和彩色照片。本書的作者Clément Chéroux是一位研究照片的歷史學家，同時也擔任2014年法國巴黎龐畢度中心的布列松回顧特展的策展人。A new career retrospective of the legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson including rare and unpublished workHenri Cartier-Bresson’s work embraced art, politics, revolution, and war.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 In addition to some of Cartier-Bresson’s best-known photographs, included here are many seldom seen or unpublished images and some rarities in color as well as black-and-white.From his earliest photographs in Paris in the 1920s and Africa in the 1930s, Cartier-Bresson’s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.” 500+ illustrations in color and black-and-white"
