It was taken at the time of the liberation of Paris and shows a couple having a celebratory kiss (a later version is shown on the cover, but it does not possess the impact or sense of exhilaration of the original). It is often compared to a similar image taken in London on VE day almost a year later, although I cannot currently recall the photographer in that instance.Although Doisneau was no less a talent than Lartigue, Atget, Cartier-Bresson and several others who were either French or working in France during the early to middle decades of the Twentieth Century, his images are perhaps less familiar outside of France than those of the others. He concentrated on street photography and largely his interest was less the weird and wonderful than the everyday scene. The images here are presented by chapter and generally themed. One group was taken during the German occupation and not only shows German troops (if caught, he could have been shot) but also of the Resistance fighters shooting in the streets of Paris in an attempt to rid them of the occupier. We know the outcome of that! He did take risks but they paid dividends in that an important phase of history was recorded for all time.Doisneau definitely possessed the ability not only to see what was happening around him but to photograph it in such a way as to make it interesting for the viewer, and to be something of beauty. He was not as varied a photographer as was Cartier-Bresson or the Hungarian-born Kertesz (who often worked in France) who both might photograph anything, but Doisneau was more interested in people whether at work, play or just watching others. That in no way devalues his art and skill, or limits his importance.This one of several published by the German firm of Taschen, this time in English, and their output can be directly compared with Thames & Hudson. The book isn't large in size but it provides an excellent cross-section of the work of a master photographer. Get it, if only to help with your own imagery and perception. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The story of the 'Kiss at the Hotel de Ville' photographer - and so much more. *by C***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 February 2012* Until I went to the Museum of National Resistance in Champigny-sur-Marne (not far from Paris) I knew of Robert Doisneau chiefly for his 'Kiss at the Hotel de Ville' photograph and the subsequent court case.At the Museum I saw prints of some of Doisneau's wartime photographs. These set me on the hunt for more information.This little book provides great value for money, good basic information as well as selection of his work; it may also (as it did for me)have the reader going 'Ah, so it was HIM that took this!' when they come across familiar images.Since buying this, I have found other more specialised books on his work and have been to one Doisneau axhibition and am about to go to a second about Doisneau's pictures of Les Halles - which also has an accompanying book available from Amazon and reviewed by me elsewhere. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A world long gone, but revived in this small book. *by R***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2020* The couple kissing in Paris after the war is one of the most popular images in print. Many others may be familiar, but he is not generally as well known as Cartier Bresson who, incidentally speaks affectionally about Doisneau in The Mind's Eye. The pictures in this small book are superb, charting 50 years or so of documentary photography, most poignantly of a world long gone. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/48530987-robert-doisneau-1912-1994](https://www.desertcart.es/products/48530987-robert-doisneau-1912-1994) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
