Born in Gentilly, Paris in 1922, Robert Doisneau is one of France's foremost photographers. During his long career, his poetic approach to street photography recorded everyday French life in often playful and surreal images. Always delighted with his subjects, he enjoyed finding amusing juxtapositions or oddities of human nature. He photographed a wide range of people and events, often juxtaposing conformist and non-conformist elements in images marked by an exquisite sense of humor, by anti-establishment values and, above all, by their profound humanism. – PCI Produced in parallel for the Robert Doisneau exhibition to be held at the Bunkamura Museum, Tokyo in 2021, we are pleased to collotype six works within this special portfolio. From acardionists, lovers, and artists, Doisneau's photographs infuse images of everyday life with poetic overtones. Carefully hand-printed in black and white by the artisans at Benrido Atelier, we are grateful to have the opportunity to express in collotype the unique and anecdotal account of Doisneau's Paris.
