In the past, estimation of artists' stature took great account of their ability to produce a likeness of the real world. A portrait was expected to be a faithful likeness, and lands...

Εκδότης: THAMES & HUDSON Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4634-0972
In 1955, Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of the twentieth century's most influential and original photographers, published 'The Europeans'.
