BOCA RATON, FLORIDA.- The Boca Raton Museum of Art presents Robert Doisneau's Paris, on view through August 28, 2005. One of France's most respected and prolific reportage photographers, Robert Doisneau (1912–1994) roamed the boulevards, streets, and banlieues (suburban fringes) of mid-century Paris, chronicling street life with his camera —an extension of his formidable wit. Wandering Paris at night, Doisneau recorded the city stripped bare: revelers, beggars, artists, dancers, pub denizens, and young lovers of every social class carousing in shadows; while in the day, capturing ordinary, clothed life: flaneurs, schoolchildren, plein-air painters, animals, butchers, wedding processions, people at work, and at rest. Scores of his images have endured as testaments to the French way of life. Robert Doisneau's Paris presents 117 gelatin silver prints from the mid-1930s through the 1970s, in which the city and its people, dramatize and improvise the life around them. Robert Doisneau's Paris is curated by Graham Howe and organized by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions (CATE), Los Angeles. All works courtesy of the Estate of Robert Doisneau, Atelier Robert Doisneau, Montrouge, France.
