Paul Strand was an American artist who made significant contributions to the canon of 20th-century photography. Strand said. “The photograph is his vision of the world and expresses, however subtly, his values and convictions.” Henri Cartier-Bresson, a filmmaker and co-creator of the photo agency Magnum, established photojournalism as an art form. The print quality of the book is very good, the paper is very beautiful.
