Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Man, the Image and the World: A Retrospective

I am unabashedly not well versed in photography -- so take that for what it's worth.
This book was a recommendation by a Goodreader who knows I at least appreciate art and so I bought the book.
From what I can tell Cartier-Bresson is a master. The early 20th century should thank him for his work.
As I went through this book, I felt a pang of sadness at the first groupings of photos, wishing this artist had only captured my country. And so what a delight when I came to the second half of the book and saw his American work. Cartier-Bresson has the gift of capturing those human moments that define both a time and a place.
I love the arrangement of the photos by their sections and the life of Cartier-Bresson is well documented in this tome. My favorite is his French idyllic photographs and my absolute favorite is still Rue Mouffetard.
This is a treat.
