Robert Doisneau : 1912-1994
Doisneau, Robert2014
Book
Robert Doisneau is one of the most celebrated exponents of the humanist photography that swept through the 1950s. Cherished in particular for his soulful portraits of Paris, Doisneau demonstrated a unique ability to find -- and perfectly frame -- charismatic characters, entertaining episodes and fleeting moments of humour and affection. Even in the most humble of contexts, he distilled the emotions and encounters that shape life. A summation of a spectacular career, this celebration presents Doisneau's most loved images alongside many lesser-known pictures, some previously unpublished, which rejoice in 'the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations'.
