Doisneau's longtime friend and TASCHEN author Jean Claude Gautrand compiled this selection, for which he had unlimited access to the photographer's extensive archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs sensitive to human suffering as to the simple pleasures of life, Robert Doisneau is one of the most celebrated exponents of the Photographie humaniste that swept through the 1950s. Cherished in particular for his soulful portraits of Paris, Doisneau demonstrated a unique ability to find - and perfectly frame - charismatic characters, entertaining episodes, and fleeting moments of humor and affection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA summation of a spectacular career, this extensive Doisneau collection includes all his best-loved images from Paris alongside many lesser-known compositions which equally rejoice in \"the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations.\" The many quotations from the photographer throughout the volume immerse the reader in Doisneau's thoughts and give verbal expression to the sensitivity, warmth, and wit which characterize his pictures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough the images, we are transported to the grim suburbs of Doisneau's youth and to the world of manual labor whose nobility he so admired. A number of color shots of the transformed suburbs of Doisneau's childhood reveal a different, more critical eye to the master photographer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor this new monograph on all aspects of the life and oeuvre of Robert Doisneau, his longtime friend and TASCHEN author Jean Claude Gautrand had unlimited access to the extensive photo archive Atelier Robert Doisneau. The preface is by Doisneau's daughters Francine Deroudille and Annette Doisneau.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9783754404188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: Multilingual edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 11 Apr 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Taschen GmbH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: Cologne, Germany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 21.7(H)x15.6(L)x3.4(W)1264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 1264\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003eJean Claude Gautrand (1932–2019) was one of France’s most distinguished experts on photography.
