Henri Cartier-Bresson - Tete a Tete

Over the last half century, Henri Cartier-Bresson has photographed some of the great icons of our times, those few people whose images will pass into history. 'Tête à Tête' is a dazzling selection of Cartier-Bresson’s most memorable portraits, including such luminaries as Carl Jung, Marilyn Monroe, Pablo Picasso, Lucian Freud, Coco Chanel, Jean-Paul Sartre and the Dalai Lama, and anonymous portraits of ordinary people, chosen for their striking and unusual features. Images echo each other; on facing pages there may be an affinity of composition, of pose or gesture, or of facial expression. With his remarkable ability to capture the fragile reality of human life, Cartier-Bresson underscores his reputation as the genuine master of 20th-century photography.
