Robert Doisneau Paris Book
Discover the life and work of Robert Doisneau, one of the most popular Parisian photographers, with this comprehensive monograph full of stunning photos.
As sensitive to human suffering as to the simple pleasures of life, Robert Doisneau is one of the most celebrated exponents of the Photographie humaniste that swept through the 1950s. Cherished in particular for his soulful portraits of Paris, he demonstrated a unique ability to find – and perfectly frame – charismatic characters, entertaining episodes, and fleeting moments of humor and affection.
A summation of a spectacular career, this extensive collection includes all his best-loved images from Paris alongside many lesser-known compositions which equally rejoice in “the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations.” The many quotations from the photographer throughout the volume immerse the reader in his thoughts and give verbal expression to the sensitivity, warmth, and wit which characterize his pictures.
Hardcover. 6.25" x 8.5" 504 pages.
