An empathetic lens: Robert Doisneau's eye for human experience As
sensitive to human suffering as to the simple pleasures of life,
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 humor 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unpublished, which rejoice in 'the ordinary gestures of ordinary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 . The many quotations from the
photographer that run the length of the volume immerse the reader
in Doisneau's thoughts, as well as his photographs, and give verbal
expression to the sensitivity, warmth and wit which characterize
his pictures. Through more than 500 images, we are transported to
the grim suburbs of Doisneau's youth; through the world of manual
labor whose nobility he so admired; and to the studios of the many
groundbreaking artists that Doisneau captured in moments of
reflection and creativity. A number of color shots of Palm Springs
and the transformed neighborhoods of Doisneau's childhood reveal a
different, more critical, eye to the master photographer. For this
new monograph about all aspects of the life and oeuvre of Robert
Doisneau his long-time friend and TASCHEN author Jean Claude
Gautrand had unlimited access to Doisneau's extensive photo
archive, and the preface comes by Doisneau s daughters Francine
Deroudille and Annette Doisneau."
