His work focused on Mexico in the 1930s,\nthe tragic fate of the Spanish Republicans, the liberation of Paris,\nthe weariness of Gandhi a few hours before his assassination, and\nthe victory of the Chinese Communists. It was he who fixed forever\nin our minds the features of famous contemporaries: Giacometti,\nSartre, Faulkner, Camus, and others, their portraits captured for\neternity at the decisive moment.\nAn intensely private individual, Cartier-Bresson nonetheless\ntook Pierre Assouline into his confidence over a number of years,\ndiscussing his youthful devotion to surrealism, his lifelong passion\nfor drawing, his experience of war and the prison camps, his friends,\nand the women in his life. He even opened up his invaluable archives.","brand":"Pierre Assouline","offers":[{"title":"WW Norton |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2013-01-08","offer_id":44151956177151,"sku":"9780500290521","price":26.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_04c0bdf9-145f-4207-ba72-6bcd59d82db5.jpg?v=1732059528","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780500290521","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
