The World of Henri Cartier-Bresson, a collection of the works of French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004), was published by Viking Press in 1968 and is one of his most important monographs. Influenced by Surrealism and using roll film and Leica cameras to capture the "decisive moment," Cartier-Bresson is considered one of the most important figures in the history of 20th-century photography. This book features a carefully curated collection of photographs taken during his extensive travels around the world, capturing sharp, sometimes poetic, images of postwar society and its people. From European street corners to Asian landscapes, from political events to everyday life, his lens consistently captures the essence of humanity, revealing the universality hidden in each moment. More than simply documentary photography, his images, combining beautiful composition and the tension of the moment, also demonstrate the process by which photography became established as an artistic form of expression. First published in 1968, this is a reprint published in 1971.
