Robert Doisneau: A Photographer's Life covers the renowned work of the French photographer famous for the 1950 picture Le Baiser de le Hotel de Ville. This frequently reproduced portrait of an attractive couple frozen in an embrace while Parisian city life whirls around them is an archetypal emblem of romance. It's pretty surprising to learn that Doisneau hired young actors for his entire kissing series; nevertheless, the moment rings undeniably true. Maybe it's his beginnings in advertising or his fashion work for Vogue that lend his images equal parts of real life and theater.
Doisneau (1912-1994) spent his lifetime recording life in France. With his combination of photojournalism and art, he captured nightclubs, the Parisian working-class suburbs, national monuments, weddings, and famous folk like Picasso. Some of the most riveting pictures are of resistance fighters in the midst of the Occupation--young men in civilian clothes, sportcoats and all, standing with guns behind homemade barricades. Accompanying the hundreds of pictures are in-depth chapters that discuss the different periods in Doisneau's life and work. From his childhood, through the war, and on to his fascination with the banlieues (suburbs), the well-researched text gives invaluable insight into this influential photographer's practice. --J.P.Cohen
From Booklist
Quintessentially French, photographer Robert Doisneau (1912^-94) spoke no other language and never photographed outside France's borders. Considering himself a latter-day Atget possessed of a far finer sense of humor, he roamed the streets of Paris and its working-class suburbs, looking for the amusing or simply human moments that he loved. His most famous picture, showing a young couple kissing on the street, contains the sum of his interests in pleasure, the city, and common human emotion. Communist in his sympathies, Doisneau was never overtly political in his work; indeed, he began his career working for the industrial giant, Renault. He soon went freelance and highly prized the freedom to go his own way. He never had or wanted a specialty, yet most of his best work is social documentary concentrating on the ordinary French. He also did fashion photography and portraits and even produced children's books, using his own daughters as models. Hamilton's lengthy, copiously illustrated, authorized biography affords an impressively complete look at the life of a warm, delightful mid-century photographer. Gretchen Garner

Wonderful!

This book is a marvelously comprehensive collection of Doisneau's work. The photographs are beautifully reproduced, and reflect the character of a city and its people with humor, pathos, and great dignity. The text is clear, concise, and extremely insightful, with some extraordinary quotes and commentary from not only Doisneau himself, but other gifted artists of his time. A book to treasure!

It was terrible!

It was really boring and I didn't like how the author rambled on and on about nothing important at all. It was the most awful book I have ever read.
