SIMPLY ROBERT DOISNEAU

Robert Doisneau conjugated the verb “to photograph” in the rhythm of day and night. For many years, photography invaded his family’s living space. The bathroom became a darkroom, with constant heat from the print dryer engulfing the atmosphere. A regular day began with hyposulfite and hydroquinone odors permeating the air, punctuated by phone calls from the Rapho agency and the sound of a Rolleiflex shutter. At his home, photography reigned supreme.
