Au Square du Vert-Galant

Robert doisneau is a French photographer. He lived in the Paris of the decade of the 40'; jazz, bohemian, big writers ... but too in the period of war. He knew to Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. His work it’s famous for having portrayed the life of the city of Paris and of his inhabitants throughout many decades. The most famous picture of Doisneau is “The Kiss”, I am sure you have seen it some time.

The composition of his images is fantastic, he can construct scenes full of life and magic, many of them are spontaneous and others are interpreted by young actors. Doisneau is a street photographer, many of his photographs are about young or old woman alone in an urban place, others are about kids or about pairs kissing each other in the streets of his country.

This picture is named “Au Square du Vert-Galant” and it’s one of my favorites, It was taken in a French place named Square du Vert-Galant, it’s a botanic park. I think it’s amazing, at the first view it seems to be a simple image of people near to the river, but then ... there are two young people kissing each other, and they are immediately the center of the photography! It’s really nice.

Well, I hope you like this picture, and I really recommended find pictures of this photographer, and other photographers of his time like Cartier Bresson.

Bye!
