Robert Doisneau / The Vogue Years

From high-society balls and fashion shoots to portraits of artists and scenes from urban life in France, this handsome volume—which features an open spine binding so that it lays flat to show off the photographs to their best advantage—showcases Doisneau’s best photographs for Vogue Paris.

Celebrated photographer Robert Doisneau worked for Vogue from 1949 until 1965, illustrating a postwar France filled with a renewed zest for life. His little-known images of haute couture featured models like Brigitte Bardot and Bettina, who he photographed in the studio and out on the streets. He chronicled the members of the café society in their stately homes and at glamorous costume galas, dancing the night away. Best known for his humanist approach, he masterfully captured scenes from everyday life—from the grace of a wedding procession over a footbridge to the petulance of a child impatient for cake. Doisneau’s photographs captured the spirit of the era and featured celebrities like Karen Blixen, Picasso, Colette, and Jean Cocteau, as well as jazz musicians, movie stars, and humble craftsmen at work. Legendary Vogue editor in chief Edmonde Charles-Roux’s personal homage to the photographer—who was her friend and colleague—offers intimate insight into the man behind the camera, as complex and beautiful as the people and places he immortalized.

He walks inside of Proust's symphonies, of Gide's insinuations, of Cocteau's opium enigmas, of Valery's silences; he walks into suggestivity, into spaces; into the illuminations of Rimbaud. And I walk with him. Tonight I love him, for the beautiful way he has given me the earth.

Il y a une petite quinzaine, je suis allé avec Julien et Katie, au Louvre-Lens pour une expo temporaire : “Animaux Fantastiques”. Une très belle expo ! Ici des minotaures (et deux "licornes" ressemblant à des minotaures !)

alterné avec les autres : Beth Carter - "Minotaure sur une boîte"

Hélène Barrier - "Mona Minotaure"

Jean Cocteau - "Deux têtes de licornes"

Un autre danger qui menace la jeunesse est qu'on la laisse trop libre de faire ce qu'elle veut. On la prive ainsi de la possibilité de désobéir. La désobéissance est le principal ressort des enfants des héros et des artistes.

Jean Cocteau
