Photographing America: Henri Cartier-Bresson / Walker Evans Details
Review “A gem that lets the photography do the talking. Highly recommended.” - Choice“ Vintage black and white images pack a powerful survey of the perspectives and approaches of both in a collection highly recommended for any college-level art library strong in American image history and analysis. ” - Midwest Book Review“Two of history’s greatest shutterbugs documented citizens during some of the country’s leanest years- from the Great Depression to the end of WWII- producing haunting portraits of Dust Bowl austerity and postwar uncertainty.” - Entertainment Weekly“By looking at images made in the United States by both photographers from 1928-1948, with Evans at the height of his career and Cartier-Bresson just beginning his, one gets a unique perspective on the differing sensibilities of these two 20th Century giants.” - Picturemagazine.com“This intriguing new book offers a fascinating opportunity to compare and contrast the work of the two photographic masters between 1929 and 1947.” - France“This will appeal not only to all photographers, from amateurs to artists, but also to anyone interested in the history of photography and American social and cultural history. Highly recommended.” - Library Journal Read more About the Author Agnès Sire is the Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson. Read more

Reviews
This is a fantastic collection of well-known and lesser-known photographs by Cartier-Bresson and Evans. The workmanship is fantastic. I would highly recommend this to any admirer of Cartier-Bresson, Evans, pre-war America in photographs, Farm Security Administration (type) photographs, or those interested in a comparison of two masters of second-quarter 20th century photographs.
