Robert Doisneau: The Vogue Years
2020réf. 353165NY: Flammarion 2020. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 360 pages. From high-society balls and fashion shoots to portraits of artists and scenes from urban life in France this handsome volume—which features an open spine binding so that it lays flat to show off the photographs to their best advantage—showcases Doisneau’s best photographs for Vogue Paris. Celebrated photographer Robert Doisneau worked for Vogue from 1949 until 1965 illustrating a postwar France filled with a renewed zest for life. His little-known images of haute couture featured models like Brigitte Bardot and Bettina who he photographed in the studio and out on the streets. He chronicled the members of the café society in their stately homes and at glamorous costume galas dancing the night away. Best known for his humanist approach he masterfully captured scenes from everyday life—from the grace of a wedding procession over a footbridge to the petulance of a child impatient for cake. Doisneau’s photographs captured the spirit of the era and featured celebrities like Karen Blixen Picasso Colette and Jean Cocteau as well as jazz musicians movie stars and humble craftsmen at work. Legendary Vogue editor in chief Edmonde Charles-Roux’s personal homage to the photographer—who was her friend and colleague—offers intimate insight into the man behind the camera as complex and beautiful as the people and places he immortalized.
