Exhibition Simply Robert Doisneau - Photo Hanoi'23

EXHIBITION "SIMPLY ROBERT DOISNEAU"

Born in 1912, Robert Doisneau is one of the most well-known figures in modern photography. During his long career, he captured a wide range of subjects, frequently juxtaposing conformist and unconventional features in photographs that were distinguished by an excellent sense of humor, anti-establishment values, and, above all, his profound humanism.

It is impossible nowadays to imagine a world without photography everywhere. Yet it was how Robert Doisneau began to work, in a place where he was told there was nothing to see, accumulating images chosen from the propositions of chance. Through years of hard work accompanied by impeccable rigor and unbridled fantasy, Robert Doisneau left behind a collection of 450.000 photographs, documenting the bustling life on the streets of Paris.

The 30 photographs on display are not only to provide a retrospective of the photographer but also to depict a man at all the pivotal moments in his life, his era, and the practice of a profession that is significantly changed and challenged today.
