Henri Cartier-Bresson in India

ブレッソンの写真に関しては本当に言うことがないくらいです。a propas de ParisやEuropeansという他の写真集を持っている人は（持っていない人でも）同じようにこの写真集に期待して間違いありません。ガンジーのお葬式の様子やネルーの写真もあるけれど、インドのふつうの人々に目を向けたところがブレッソンの味をだしてると思います。マーケットの人の写真や洗濯をしてる人の写真、サリーを乾かしている人の写真、通りにいる人の写真など、ブレッソンはこんなところにも目（心の目とでも言うのでしょうか）を向けていたのかと驚かされます。幾多層にもわたる複雑なインドという国の奥の深さを少し垣間見たような気がします。
