THE FACE OF ASIA
Henri Cartier-Bresson

Henri Cartier-Bresson: THE FACE OF ASIA. NYC: Viking Press, 1972. First edition. A fine hardcover book in a fine dust jacket: glossy black DJ shows mildest hint of rubbing, as usual with this title. Interior unmarked and very clean. Out-of-print.

8.5 x 11 hardcover book bound in full cloth with 208 pages and approx. 200 photos printed in gravure -- a stunning collection taken by Cartier-Bresson over a twenty year period. Includes list of plates and a thorough and informative introduction by Robert Shaplen.

Cartier-Bresson broke new ground in photography with a new philosophy, believing that the elements of composition, light, and movement combine at a certain decisive instant. Seizing and fixing that instant is the mark of the great photographer.
