'One of the Greatest of All Photobooks'

CARTIER-BRESSON, Henri. Images à la Sauvette. Paris: Verve. 1952.

4to. Original pictorial paper-covered boards reproducing an original design by Henri Matisse, lacking dust-jacket; pp. 158, including 126 black-and-white photographs; light browning to the spine, otherwise a fine copy.

First French edition, issued simultaneously with the American edition, containing some of the photographer’s most celebrated
works.

Images à la Sauvette has been described as ‘one of the greatest of all photobooks’ (Parr & Badger, p. 209). One of the most representative collections of Cartier-Bresson’s work, it was described by Robert Capa as ‘a bible for photographers’. This publication reveals the duality of the photographer’s work, between intimate snapshots and his documentary approach. Cartier-Bresson’s characteristic clarity of vision and ability to capture the fragility of social life unifies his subjects with humour and dignity.

The French publisher Tériade, known for collaborations with artists such as Picasso, Matisse and Miró, had planned a book with Cartier-Bresson in the late 1930s but the project was halted by the outbreak of the Second World War. Following the photographer’s landmark
retrospective at MoMA in 1947, Tériade finally published Images à la Sauvette in 1952, which appeared at the same time as a US edition titled The Decisive Moment, issued in New York by Simon and Schuster. Matisse provided original collage illustration for the cover design of both editions.

Parr & Badger I, 208.

Cheap, screw holes don't line up, screen is to short, and bars take WD-40 and a mallet
This has been my worst purchase on Amazon ever. DO NOT BUY. My first issue was that bars #4 and #5 would not go together, I ended up buying WD-40 and a mallet and that kind of got them together. Now I went to but the screen on (which is almost see thought) and the screen is to short. I can't attached the bottom bar to the tall bar. The screw hole is in the wrong spot, so the screen is not secure. No amount of pulling on the screen will make it grown .25" longer. Since I can't get the bars secure the walls are not steady and fall over easily. The feet did go together very nice. I can't return them according to Amazons policy. I bought 2 sets. I'm not going to try to build the other set I have. And I can't take apart the first set, since the bars are so tightly together. Also the polls have rust on them.

Very Poor Built Quality
Color: Black, Size: 3-Panel
They use cheap tarp like cloth that you might find on a tent, so it is not suitable as a teleconferencing background without blur applied. The legs are flimsy and lack rubber feet, so it will scratch floors. The tubing is flimsy and very hard to move and adjust. This is only good if you are setting it up somewhere like a gym or a garage.
