This publication brings together twelve interviews and conversations with Cartier-Bresson, dating from 1951 to 1998. They reveal a fascinating and passionate Cartier-Bresson. He talks about photography, reflects on the state of the world and looks back on the path he has travelled. These statements, covering a period of almost half a century, also allow us to see the evolution of the photographer’s thought: he returns to certain themes, changes his point of view, sometimes contradicts himself. Thus, not a frozen legend emerges, but on the contrary, a very living image of Cartier-Bresson - perhaps the most famous photographer of the 20th century.
