Don't get me wrong. Cartier-Bresson is a god to me. So many iconic images, he has road mapped the 20th century.
But I would be interested in hearing from others who have actually seen the Cartier-Bresson exhibition to add in their thoughts. I went along yesterday, and while the street shots and photojournalism were all I had expected, some of the portraits of the rich and famous were - [heresy alert] well, a little bit technically crap [/heresy alert]. By that I mean, a bit ordinary, and often not even in focus. I realise I run the danger here that others run when they make similar comments on modern art....
My other comment on the exhibition is that I would have loved some technical info, or even to be able to gaze on to one of his cameras...
What does anyone else think?
