The legendary photographer's quintessential portraits of
Paris--including several previously unpublished works--in an affordable
new paperback. Robert Doisneau's ability to infuse images of daily life
with poetic nuance has given enduring popular appeal to his work. In
this new volume, he leads us on an entrancing tour into Parisian
gardens, along the Seine, and through crowds of Parisians. Workers,
beggars, lovers, jugglers, children, dancers--Doisneau's lens captures
all, in myriad lights and moods. Sometimes humorous, often ironic, and
unfailingly tender, his oeuvre is iconic and reflects the Paris of our
dreams. Composed, structured images are featured alongside impromptu
snapshots of Parisian life, demonstrating the range of Doisneau's talent
as both artist and photojournalist.
