Robert Doisneau. Paris. 45Th Ed

Beskrivelse

Robert Doisneau captured the heart of Paris through his lens, blending human suffering with life's simple joys. Known for his soulful portraits and candid moments, he remains a key figure in the Photographie humaniste movement of the 1950s.

A comprehensive tribute to Doisneau’s iconic images and his unique view of everyday life in Paris.

This extensive collection showcases the highlights of Robert Doisneau’s remarkable career, featuring his most beloved Parisian photographs alongside lesser-known works that celebrate the ordinary moments of daily life. His talent for spotting charismatic characters, amusing scenes, and fleeting expressions of affection shines throughout the book.

Filled with quotes from Doisneau himself, the volume offers insight into the warmth, wit, and sensitivity that define his photography. Readers are transported from the tough suburbs of his youth to the world of manual labor, which he deeply respected for its dignity.

The book also includes color images of the suburbs Doisneau grew up in, revealing a more critical perspective from the master photographer. Created by Jean Claude Gautrand, a close friend and TASCHEN author, this monograph benefits from full access to the Atelier Robert Doisneau photo archive.

The preface is written by Doisneau’s daughters, Francine Deroudille and Annette Doisneau, adding a personal touch to this definitive collection of his life and work.
