La photographie est pour Cartier-Bresson un moyen parmi d'autres d'exercer son intelligence du monde, de créer un "imaginaire d'après nature". Cet "outil" est toujours resté en relation avec sa pratique première de la peinture et du dessin. L'art du tir à l'arc zen, auquel il se réfère, vient insérer la photographie dans un cadre symbolique original qui couronne une réflexion profonde, invalidant les distinctions propres à la culture occidentale entre discipline physique, exercice spirituel et activité artistique. Le photographe-archer devient ainsi maître de l'instant en pratiquant un art sans art. Henri Cartier-Bresson apporte son éthique au reportage, faisant du photographe le Seigneur de l'occasion, le Maître des coïncidences. Puis, les noeuds qu'il a si vivement ourdis avec le temps grâce à l'outil photographique seront patiemment renoués avec le dessin. En présentant au lecteur à la fois les peintures, les dessins et les photographies d'Henri Cartier-Bresson, cet ouvrage propose un regard neuf tant sur son oeuvre que sur l'art des reporters photographes dont il se réclame.

In his inimitable style, Morris untangles the mysteries behind an eclectic range of documentary photographs, from the ambrotype of three children found clasped in the hands of an unknown soldier at Gettysburg to the indelible portraits of the WPA photography project. Each essay in the book presents the reader with a conundrum and investigates the relationship between photographs and the real world they supposedly record. During the Crimean War, Roger Fenton took two nearly identical photographs of the Valley of the Shadow of Death-one of a road covered with cannonballs, the other of the same road without cannonballs. Susan Sontag later claimed that Fenton posed the first photograph, prompting Morris to return to Crimea to investigate. Can we recover the truth behind Fenton's intentions in a photograph taken 150 years ago?In the midst of the Great Depression and one of the worst droughts on record, FDR's Farm Service Administration sent several photographers, including Arthur Rothstein, Dorothea Lange, and Walker Evans, to document rural poverty. When Rothstein was discovered to have moved the cow skull in his now-iconic photograph, fiscal conservatives-furious over taxpayer money funding an artistic project-claimed the photographs were liberal propaganda. What is the difference between journalistic evidence, fine art, and staged propaganda?During the Israeli-Lebanese war in 2006, no fewer than four different photojournalists took photographs in Beirut of toys lying in the rubble of bombings, provoking accusations of posing and anti-Israeli bias at the news organizations. Why were there so many similar photographs? And were the accusers objecting to the photos themselves or to the conclusions readers drew from them?With his keen sense of irony, skepticism, and humor, Morris reveals in these and many other investigations how photographs can obscure as much as they reveal and how what we see is often determined by our beliefs. Part detective story, part philosophical meditation, Believing Is Seeing is a highly original exploration of photography and perception from one of America's most provocative observers.
