A new edition of photography's most famous book in a revised format. The Decisive Moment (Images à la Sauvette in French) is one of the greatest photography books ever published. It brings together photographic material from the first twenty years of Henri Cartier-Bresson's career. Images à la Sauvette was published in 1952 by Verve, with an original cover by Matisse. It was the result of a collaboration between the photographer, the famous art critic and publisher Tériade, and the painter, at the peak of his career. The American version, published the same year by Simon and Schuster, was the first to introduce the now-famous expression "decisive moment". The book, which reveals the intrinsic duality of Henri Cartier-Bresson's work, the combination of intimate interpretation with documentary observation, received tremendous critical acclaim within the art world and is considered a "bible for photographers", in the words of photographer Robert Capa. It remains an essential reference for photographers to this day. The original book, now out of print, has become a collector's item. The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson sought to make this classic photography book accessible again, in a smaller and practical format, at an affordable price. The latest print features the same material as the original 1952 edition, and is accompanied by a comprehensive study of the book's making, its enduring popularity and the considerations behind its title, written by Clément Chéroux, Director of the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson.

The portraits of models by the renowned actor, filmmaker and photographer Vincent Perez, born in 1964, is a distinguished Swiss actor, filmmaker, and accomplished photographer. Known for his captivating performances in films such as "The Crow: City of Angels" and "Queen Margot," Perez has seamlessly navigated between European and Hollywood productions.

Vincent Perez's passion for photography further highlights his artistic versatility, making him a notable figure in the global entertainment and visual arts landscape. His photographic work focuses on portraits, in the line of Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. In this book, Vincent Perez immersed himself in an emblematic location of the School of Paris : La Grande Chaumière, an art school that did not teach the strict academic principles of the École des Beaux-Arts but rather encouraged artistic freedom. Many famous 20th century artists attended this school like Zao Wou-Ki, Balthus, Miró or Louise Bourgeois, following the teachings of Bourdelle, Léger and many others. Vincent Perez took portraits of models on film using the natural light of the painters' studio as an hommage to the models and painters of the bubbling 1920's Montparnasse like Kiki de Montparnasse and Modigliani.
