'Robert Doisneau. Paris'

From the 1930s, French photographer Robert Doisneau photographed the streets of Paris. A pioneer in humanist photography, he captured “the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations.” This anthology of his work is a summation of a spectacular life and career. Authored by longtime friend Jean Claude Gautrand — who had unlimited access to the extensive photo archive of Atelier Robert Doisneau — this essential monograph includes adored and rarely-glimpsed images. With a preface by Doisneau’s daughters Francine Deroudille and Annette Doisneau, Tachen’s 'Robert Doisneau. Paris' is an extensive and touching homage to the life and oeuvre of a master.
