An exhibition of the photographs of Robert Doisneau, often hailed as France’s national photographer, will be held in two parts.
Known as a “fisher of images,” Doisneau possessed extraordinary insight and a playful sensibility, capturing the hidden dramas of everyday life and cultivating an inimitable visual world.
With the encouragement of the poet Blaise Cendrars, Doisneau’s photographs of the Paris suburbs were published in 1949 in his first photo book The Suburbs of Paris.
Part 1 will feature works depicting the Paris suburbs, a place intrinsically linked to Robert Doisneau, and will explore the photographer’s roots on the 30th anniversary of his death.
