It brings together photographic material from the first twenty years of Henri Cartier Bressons career. Images 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 Triade, and the painter, at the peak of his career.
