Prior to the Revolution of 1917, Russia had one of the greatest traditions of private art collecting in the world. The first great collections were created by the aristocracy, and then by the newly rich industrialists and businessmen in the 19th century. Finally came the `Merchant Princes`, who were among the first and most important collectors of Impressionist and Modern Art. After 1917, all these collections were confiscated by the State, put into reserves in Moscow and Leningrad, and eventually integrated into the collections of the State Hermitage, the Tretiakov Museum, the Pushkin Museum and other institutions. This beautiful, all-colour book recreates the collections as they were, describes how they were made and by whom, and...

Henri Cartier-Bresson’s record of his lifelong fascination with India contains the very best of his photographs of that country, images shaped by an eye and a mind legendary for their empathy and ability to get to the heart of the matter. The first pictures were taken in 1947 at the time of Independence; the last when the photographer was well into his eighties. Cartier-Bresson’s talent, his famous ‘mantle of invisibility’ and his good connections with such figures as Nehru and the Mountbattens allow him to portray all the contradictions and variety of India. Much space is given to his famous reportages, such as the astonishing sequence on the death and cremation of Gandhi, and the refugee camps that formed following the...

In 1955, Henri Cartier-Bresson published "The Europeans", a portrait of the continent documenting a landscape shadowed by the war. In this book, the photographer brings together images spanning the years from the late 1920`s to the early 1970`s. He has travelled across Europe, from the Scandinavian shield to the Irish bogs, in order to capture what it means to be European. Beyond nationalism and the particular characteristics of each culture and nation, he has found evidence of a greater identity, a likeness shared by the people and the landscape. His photographs seek to speak of the same daily ceremony, of the ongoing business of living for people across Europe, whether Polish priests in alb or cassock, or Abruzzi peasants shrouded in...
