'Shooting a picture,' says he, 'is like shooting rabbit or partridge. Before shooting you think, you contemplate, you look...

...gallery owner Julien Levy hung the black-and-white images of three unsung photographers on his walls, and all three went on to make huge contributions to the 20th century's image bank. The exhibition, entitled Documentary and Anti-graphic Photographs, showcased the early work of Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans. This week, just a month after the death of Cartier-Bresson, the longest-surviving member of the trio, the first-ever recreation of Levy's exhibition opens at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris. Although the three legends had distinct styles, each trained...
