€69,95
Robert Doisneau is as sensitive to human suffering as he is to the simple pleasures of life. He is one of the most celebrated exponents of the Photographie humaniste that flooded the 1950s. Doisneau was especially cherished for his portraits of Paris. He showed a unique ability to find and perfectly frame charismatic characters, entertaining episodes and fleeting moments of humor and affection.
Summarizing a spectacular career, this comprehensive Doisneau collection includes all of his best-loved images of Paris, in addition to many lesser-known compositions that delight equally in "the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations." The book's many quotes from the photographer immerse the reader in Doisneau's thoughts and give verbal expression to the sensitivity, warmth and humor that characterize his photographs.
Through the images we are taken to the stark suburbs of Doisneau's youth; the world of manual labor whose noblesse oblige he so admired; and to the studios of the many pioneering artists Doisneau captured in moments of reflection and creativity. A number of color photographs of the transformed suburbs of Doisneau's youth reveal a different, more critical eye of the master photographer.
For this new monograph on all aspects of Robert Doisneau's life and oeuvre, his longtime friend and TASCHEN author Jean Claude Gautrand had unrestricted access to the extensive photo archive Atelier Robert Doisneau. The foreword is by Doisneau's daughters Francine Deroudille and Annette Doisneau.
