This naturally included the Existentialists. While his portraits of Jean Paul Sartre are perhaps better known, Cartier-Bresson also made memorable images of Sartre's fellow Existentialist and wife (they had a famously open relationship), Simone de Beauvoir.<br />De Beauvoir's remarkable book, <em>The Second Sex</em>, was an extremely early (1949) work of Feminist history and thought. Published in countless editions, it remains an iconic work.<br /><br />The photo on the cover of this 1989 softcover Vintage &nbsp;edition is a small detail from one of Cartier-Bresson's portraits of de Beauvoir.
