| Summary: | Likening himself to 'a fisherman of images' during his prolific career, Robert Doisneau did not limit just himself to capturing, revealing and printing certain aspects of an era or society or the people in it on photo paper. Instead he created his own poetic and generous, timeless and universal image of it, inspired by his profound tenderness and empathy for others. Combining a wonderful selection of 170 photos with original essays by specialists, this book highlights the rich and varied aspects of a body of work that all too often has been reduced to a few photos that are engrained in our collective memory. |
