Monochrome v. Colour - Great New Exhibition, London

[Richard Tyson]

Spotted this in the Guardian, I'm definitely going to this, looks great:

Henri Cartier-Bresson: who can beat the master of monochrome?

An exciting new London exhibition pits Henri Cartier-Bresson, famous for eschewing colour in his photography, against some of the best colour photographers of our time

And a little gallery http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2012/nov/07/henri-cartier-bresson-in-pictures?intcmp=239

Sounds like a wonderful exhibit. Interesting... looking through the gallery I appreciate a lot of the photographer's work except that of Harry Gruyaert (#5). The composition is awful... a hodge-podge of nothing. How could someone become famous with work like that? Must investigate him a bit more... maybe some of his other images are better?

[Amy Spada]

They are better....

@boxplayer @rich57 @sparkle Just checked and have a colleague's retirement lunch in the afternoon which means.... I should be able to slip away a bit early once I've taken the usual good-bye snaps and scoffed some cake :-)
