PARIS LES LIVRES DE PHOTOGRAPHIE 1920-1950 - Christian Bouqueret
Paris has always been a hotbed of creative activity. From the 1920s to the 1950s, the avant-garde set the stage for a protean photographic modernity. Quite naturally, Paris became the cradle of exceptional publishing activity: the production of photography books in and around the capital followed this craze, producing some of the most important works in the history of photography. It is around this golden age of photography that Christian Bouqueret has decided to present the finest jewels in the crown of publishing, many of them unobtainable, signed by the greatest photographers: Laure Albin Guillot, Hans Bellmer, Brassaï, Claude Cahun, Robert Doisneau, Germaine Krull, Roger Parry, Man Ray and many more. For more than three decades, photography books in France have reflected the rich diversity of photographic production and accompanied research into the silver medium, graphic design, typography and layout.
