Contacts S01 E05 Robert Doisneau

Overview

From the late 1930s onwards, the streets of Paris and its suburbs were Doisneau's favourite subject. His images of the Liberation of Paris in 1944 and his famous picture The Kiss (Baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville) have travelled all over the world. His contact-sheets - with humorous comments from Doisneau himself - add up to a chronicle of the twentieth century, a linear memoir of the photographer's time and place.
