About the Author
Cartier-Bresson, Henri: - Henri Cartier-Bresson was born in France in 1908. He studied painting and then began to photograph in the early 1930s. After escaping from prison camp in 1943, he made portraits of artists, covered the liberation of Paris and filmed a documentary on the return of war prisoners. In 1947, the year he had his first show at MoMA, he also founded Magnum Photos with Robert Capa, George Rodger and David Seymour. Not long after, he began in earnest the life of a traveling photographer, working in India, Burma, Pakistan, Indonesia, China, Japan, Mexico and Cuba. His first, defining book "The Decisive Moment" was published by Teriade in 1952. By the late 60s, he had almost ceased making reportage to re-embrace his first passion, drawing. Cartier-Bresson created his Foundation in Paris in 2003, and passed away in 2004.

This Book Will Make You Happy
Format: Paperback
This book is beautiful, inspiring and uplifting. I happen to be someone who never drew very but wants to draw again. It's perfect for me. However, even if I didn't have an interest in drawing, the art, stories and information are compelling and warm. I truly believe anyone will enjoy this book. I first learned of the amazing Lynda Barry when I was a kid reading Ernie Pook's Comeek. I have since read everything Lynda Barry has ever published - and every bit is a treasure. There is a kindness, wisdom, openness and compassion in everything she does. For me, her work is like a tonic and a salve. This book comes to me at the perfect time - the most painful and difficult year of my life. It is powerful and soothing. This is a work you will love and go back to again and again.

Such a fun book
Format: Paperback
If you are looking to get back into drawing or just spark creativity, this is the perfect book to get started with. It's not necessarily a direct instruction book - so you need to be patient and EXPLORE. The only thing that would make it more perfect is if someone came up with a deck of attendance card prompts for when you run out of your own ideas!
