Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Decisive Moment

Henri Cartier-Bresson's photographs of the openly homosexual French artist, illustrator and designer Christian Bérard in the First Hotel, Boulevard Garibaldi, Paris, 1932, and history-changing philosopher and critic Jean-Paul Sartre on the Pont des Arts, Paris, 1946, are just two of the canonical images reproduced in Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Decisive Moment, first published by Simon & Schuster in 1952 and now available in a pretty-much perfect new edition from Steidl. Our first shipment of this astonishingly impactful volume sold out immediately; we are delighted to be able to offer this title, whose notable cover illustration is by Henri Matisse and which Robert Cappa called "a bible for photographers," again, in time for the holidays. This is a book for every collection, and we cannot recommend it enough.
