Paris is a city built on two millennia of history. This title leads us through what Goethe described as 'universal city where every step upon a bridge or a square recalls a great past, where a fragment of history is unrolled at the corner of every street'. It recounts this history in photographs, from Daguerre's incunabula to the recent images.

Portrait of a City

Paris

Robert Doisneau (1912-1994) é reconhecido por seus mágicos e atemporais retratos em 35 mm feitos em Paris e em seus arredores. Inovadoras, inéditas e repletas de poesia e humor, suas fotografias retratam pessoas comuns (em lugares comuns, fazendo coisas comuns) congeladas no tempo, revelando inconscientemente, num contexto público, emoções pessoais efêmeras. O talento de Doisneau era a capacidade de buscar e apreender, com sensibilidade e elegância, aquelas pequenas epifanias do dia-a-dia parisiense. Este livro retrata a vida e a carreira de Doisneau, proporcionando uma introdução ao trabalho deste produtivo fotógrafo. Legendas em espanhol, italiano e português.

Paris Mon Amour

Amis du Pavillon Baltard

Le Pavillon Baltard, Des Halles de Paris À Nogent-sur-Marne

Le Flaneur, the turn-of-the-century French term for the urban stroller, the street wanderer -- an intellectual with plenty of leisure time to idly traverse the byways of the city, drifting from one quarter to another, making discoveries, meeting old acquaintances, making new ones. It remains the best way to see Paris. This volume of photography is a memoir of numerous walks through the French capital by some great photographers, who set out, like le flaneur, to capture by chance something they had never seen before. These images map and re-map the desired paths and favourite landmarks of one of the most photographed cities in the world, reprinting classic shots from the last two hundred years -- right up to the present day. They poignantly evoke the bars, the cafes, the architecture, the parks and, of course, the vibrancy of the people. Turning the pages is like taking a walk through the history of the city, noting the changes and those elements that are forever Paris -- the tree-lined boulevards, the dimly lit bistros, the narrow passages, and the banks of the River Seine.

Brassaï

Harlots, hoodlums, and heathens in Brassaï's Paris "Brassaï is a living eye," wrote Henry Miller of the Hungarian-born artist who adopted Paris after World War I and became one of its most celebrated photographers. Originally a painter before he moved on to writing, sculpture, cinema and, most famously, photography, Brassaï (1899-1984) was a member of Paris's cultural elite, counting Miller, Picasso, Sartre, Camus, and Cocteau, among his friends. Camera in hand, he scoured the streets and bars of Paris, unabashedly capturing the city's inhabitants in their natural habitats. Prostitutes, hoodlums, and other 'marginal' characters were the most famous heroes of Brassaï's moody, gritty photographs taken often by night. Including an extensive selection of Brassaï's finest photographs and an essay describing his life and work, this book explores the world of Brassaï in thematic chapters: Minotaure magazine, Paris at Night, Secret Paris, Day Visions, Artists of My Life, and Graffiti and Transmutations.
