Robert Doisneau "Kiss by the Hotel de Ville".
- Technique: photolithograph
- Size: 42 x 32cm
Doisneau studied lithography as a boy at the école Estienne, near Chantilly. In these years Robert developed an ever-growing interest in the suburbs and all those places that will later become the beating heart of his photography. He was then hired at the age of twenty-two, after having worked as an assistant to the sculptor André Vigneau. After this experience he worked at the Renault workshops in Billancourt as an industrial photographer.
In the forties he joined the Resistance, where he served as a lithographer to falsify important documents on a strategic level. After the end of the war, from 1945, he began to work with Pierre Betz, editor of the newspaper Le Point, and from 1946 he became an independent photographer for the Rapho agency. Doisneau worked as a Rapho photographer for about fifty years. In 1947 he met Jacques Prévert, Robert Giraud and, in the same year, he won the Kodak Prize.
Over the course of his career Doisneau also did several reportages for Vogue.
He died in 1994 in Paris.
