Robert
Doisneau is famous for capturing the streets and elusive
spaces of Paris as the city entered the modern era. Perhaps
best known as the creator of romantic images of Paris-particularly
The Kiss (Le Baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville)-Doisneau is,
in fact, a key figure in the history of documentary photography.
His passion was to notice and record the ordinary life
around him, presented by chance, "like a bouquet."
He photographed everything from local weddings to heads
of states, from a homeless drunk asleep over a subway
grate to a masked ball in a Venetian palace, recording
the marginal and transitory zones recognized by Charles
Baudelaire and later by Walter Benjamin as the symbolic,
shifting landscapes of modern life.
