Robert Doisneau: Music

Robert Doisneau: Music by Robert Doisneau and Clémentine Deroudille presents one of photography’s great masters through the lens of his lifelong love affair with music — the street musicians, jazz clubs, café singers, and informal concerts that Doisneau documented throughout his career in Paris. Best known for Le Baiser de l’Hôtel de Ville, Doisneau was equally brilliant as a chronicler of the city’s musical life, bringing to his images of musicians the same warmth, wit, and extraordinary eye for the telling moment that define his work. Published by Flammarion with full-colour and black-and-white photography throughout, this is an essential volume for admirers of Doisneau and for anyone interested in the relationship between photography, music, and the street life of mid-twentieth century Paris.
