Overview

The dramatic pictures record with brutal accuracy the panorama of everyday life—crowded markets; stark, dusty landscapes; an execution wall—a unique record that includes some of the most famous and powerful images by this great photographer.

Synopsis

This collection brings together photographs taken on two separate visits Cartier-Bresson made to Mexico—the first in 1934, just as he was embarking on his photographic career, and the second some thirty years later.
