Cartier-Bresson Here and Now?

[Florian1234]

Hey guys, what's the news in the book Henri Cartier-Bresson Here and Now by Cheroux?
What is the difference compared to, let's say, HCB The Modern Century, which I already have?

 

[Florian1234]

Nobody? Is it the accompanying essays?

 

[Graham Line]

It's an exhibition catalog and is supposed to include some previously unpublished photos -- though these could well fall into the category of outtakes. The essays appear to be original to this volumne.

I was going to post but as I haven`t got the other book didn`t think I could add anything useful.

Here and Now is one of the best books I`ve bought this year.
Lots of photos that I haven`t seen before and the accompanying essays and bio are just the icing on the cake for me.

Its in the same style as the Winograd book ... can`t recommend it highly enough.

I am going to visit the exhibition tomorrow - I'll report when back home. 🙂

 

[Florian1234]

Excellent help, guys. 🙂 Thanks a lot. I have the Winogrand volume, too.

 

[coelacanth]

Ordered. Thanks for the heads up. 🙂

Just back from having visited the exhibition quietly and extensively. Four hours !

Carefully looked at the book.

It's an excellent catalog for this exhibition, yet IMO it doesn't bring anything new to current owners of previous reference books about him - especially "L'art sans art" published by Flammarion, or the sum "Henri Cartier-Bresson photographe" published by Delpire in the 1980's.

Will be back later again with some pictures taken at Beaubourg, when I have developed my films.

Hi Highway61,

Just looking online for L'art sans art. I can get the french language edition much cheaper than the english version. Stupid question, but would I be missing out on much going for the french language edition - are the written parts interesting/extensive (my french is rudimentary)?

 

[Highway 61]

Go for the English version - no question.

 

[coelacanth]

Got the book today. It's HUGE!

Paris, Centre Pompidou, 6th floor gallery. But - it ended today.

 

[maddoc]

Just ordered it ... 🙂

BTW, "The Decisive Moment" is going to be re-printed it seems ... will be released by October 31th according to information on Amazon web-site.

quick question, on Amazon UK there are two reviews of this book, one says great five stars, the other says print quality compered to the reviewers copy of the Europeans is very poor, one star and he's returning it. Have you any concerns regarding the print quality?

Thanks for the heads up. Book Depository says end of September. Can't wait. I don't want to miss out for the next 50 years!
