Videos. The Return of The Decisive Moment. Within the canon of European photography books it would be difficult to find one more famous, revered and influential as Henri Cartier-Bresson’s Images a la Sauvette or, as the American edition is titled, The Decisive Moment.
Upon its release in French and American editions in 1952, Cartier-Bresson received personal letters affirming its brilliance from the likes of Jean Cocteau, Alexey Brodovitch, Carmel Snow (then editor of Harper’s Bazaar), and Joan Miro. The French edition publisher Stratis Eleftheriadis (known simply as Tériade) claimed it was “one of the most satisfying books that [he] had had the pleasure of making.” Its value as an out-of-print collectable has risen over the past few decades resulting in keeping this masterpiece out of the hands of many younger photographers.
Finally, after 62 years, it is again seeing the light of day this December with a gorgeous facsimile from the German publishing house Steidl. Courtesy of Steidl.
Eugene Richards. Landscape. Photography Online. How Shepard Fairey is Debunking Art World Elitism, One... Shepard Fairey’s validation in the art world has done little to scar his street cred; it behooves both sides to embrace an artist who has disrupted, inspired, and endured for the better part of three decades—and today, whose work can claim real estate at London’s prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum and on an album cover for a hardcore punk band.
Without trepidation, Fairey makes his stances clear, ones that haven’t wavered since the late ’80s when he first confronted the world with now-ubiquitous images of Andre the Giant. Through 16+ arrests for vandalism and a grueling legal battle with the Associated Press after his Barack Obama “Hope” poster became the emblem of the 2008 presidential campaign, Fairey perseveres, and to listen to him describe a new body of work, which hijacks the American flag, he finds no threat in controversy. Artsy: Can you talk a little bit about printmaking and its relationship to your practice? Artsy: These prints were your first foray into foil-blocking.
