Produktbeschreibung
The Decisive Moment-originally called Images à la Sauvette-

is one of the most famous books in the history of photography,

assembling Cartier-Bresson's best work from his early

years. Published in 1952 by Simon and Schuster, New York, in

collaboration with Editions Verve, Paris, it was lavishly embellished

with a collage cover by Henri Matisse. The book and its images have since influenced generations of photographers. Its English title has defined the notion of the famous formal peak in which all elements in the photographic frame accumulate to form the perfect image. Paired with the artist's humanist viewpoint, Cartier-Bresson's photography

has become part of the world's collective memory. This new publication is a meticulous facsimile of the original book. It comes with an additional booklet containing an essay on the history of The Decisive Moment by Centre Pompidou curator Clément Chéroux.

Cartier-Bresson, Henri
Henri Cartier-Bresson was born in Chanteloup-en-Brie in 1908. He initially studied painting and began photographing in the 1930s. Cartier-Bresson co-founded Magnum in 1947 and subsequently travelled extensively. In the late 1960s he returned to his original passion, drawing. In 2003 Cartier-Bresson established the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, one year before his death.
