Tête à tête. Portraits by Henri Cartier-Bresson
Henri Cartier-BressonNews provided by Norwood
The Tet-a-Tet album by Henri Cartier-Bresson includes portraits of the most prominent personalities of the second half of the 20th century. Photos are presented in a non-chronological order, but organized in such a way as to show the connections and parallels of poses and similarities of faces, familiar images in an unusual environment: a very young Truman Capote in a crumpled T-shirt, at the dawn of literary fame; very old Colette, who retains her penetrating gaze; Matisse with his birds; Sartre with his pipe ... There is also a group of portraits of unknown people: tribes from Kashmir, prostitutes in Mexico City, women in southern Spain, always dressed in black. And, as noted in the preface to Tet-a-Tet, art critic E.Kh. When creating these portraits, Gombrich, Carte-Bresson significantly departed from the techniques of the "secular" photographer, on the contrary - "he always preferred to lie in wait for an expressive moment."
