ROBERT DOISNEAU
JEAN CLAUDE GAUTRAND Book Number: 79577 Product format: Paperback
Robert Doisneau (1912-1994) is best known for his magical, timeless 35mm street portraits taken in Paris and its suburbs. Fresh, unstaged, and full of poetry and humour, his photographs portray everyday people (in everyday places, doing everyday things) frozen in time, unwittingly revealing fleeting personal emotions in a public context and capture those little epiphanies of everyday Parisian life. See weddings with tiny bridesmaids in white, Giacometti in a café, Colette with Millefiori Paperweights, shops, alleys, bridges, barbed wire 1944 with lovers on a bench behind, cyclists, a fallen white horse, a clandestine printing press to a cellist playing on a cliff edge. This book traces Doisneau's life and career, providing a wonderful introduction to the work of this seminal photographer. Softback, 4.7" x 6.5", 192 pages. Text in English, French and German.
