Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Biography4 reviews
Pierre Assouline

Thames & Hudson, 2005

A misunderstood book.

This book has been somewhat unfairly reviewed. I have just read this fine book from cover to cover. Whilst I found it worthy of 4 stars, I have to agree that it has some weaknesses. - The book really should have some of the photos to which the text often refers. - The author has assumed ...

Sue Davidson Lowe, Anne Havinga, ...

MFA Publications, 2002

Entirely worthwhile read.

This is an excellent biography. Written by Sue Davidson Lowe, Alfred Stieglitz's niece, "Stieglitz : A Memoir/Biography" is written objectively, yet with the knowingness and acceptance of a relative.

Imagine, Aperture, a magazine with only 2 issues per year, dedicated to the best of all things photographic, devoted an ...
  
  











  



  
Minor White: Rites and Passages (Aperture Monograph)2 reviews

Aperture, 1992

A moment in photographic history

+ A Passage Worth Undertaking

Minor White excelled at noticing and reproducing those graphic istances where the world offers the eye a piece of simple beauty that's outside the preserve of our cliches.
