Summary
"Robert Diosneau's black-and-white photographs immortalize the magic of Paris. The photographer was profoundly fascinated by his city; its combination of dreamy nostalgia and teeming modernity provided him with a kaleidoscopic backdrop for his compositions. Doisneau possessed an uncanny ability to capture poetry in ordinary moments - from a woman walking her dog in style, to a gaggle of schoolchildren crossing the street, to the famous kiss in front of the Hotel de Ville - and it was this eye for humor and poignancy that infused his work with enduring popular appeal. The 560 photographs in this volume - many of which appear in print for the first time - are accompanied by a collection of witty and revealing quotations from the photographer's personal notebooks."--Jacket
