Book - Portraits Par Henri Cartier-Bresson : "Le Silence Intérieur D'Une Victime Consentante" 

Henri Cartier-Bresson 

Henri Cartier-Bresson photographed throughout his life well known personalities from the world of arts and science but, also many strangers. For the first exhibition presenting original prints from its collection, the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson pays homage to these portraits, all shot off the cuff, almost at the "decisive moment", far away from poses and tricks. "A portrait is like a fifteen to twenty minutes call. You cannot stay longer, like a mosquito about to bite".
These dialogs "head-to-head", these silent duels with a "consenting victim" generated the most beautiful and moving portraits...
