The Privileged Eye

"The title essay, "The privileged eye", meditates at length on the shock of such appearances, as manifested in a single, highly charged image by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Throughout these wide-ranging essays, Kozloff keeps close to the experience of photographic imagery, linking discernment with freshness of visual contact. These essays describe what if feels like to be in the grip of photography's objectified world."--Page 4 de la couverture.
