FOR JANUARY 7 –

BRUCE SILVERSTEIN TO EXHIBIT ROBERT DOISNEAU –

TG/jl set 12-29 #614239

NEW YORK CITY — Bruce Silverstein Photography announces the exhibition “Robert Doisneau, from the Fictional to the Real,” vintage photographs, 1930–1990, from January 8 through February 12. This exhibition focuses on rare and unseen works from the artist’s early formative years, World War II, and the latter half of the Twentieth Century and reintroduces this seminal figure and develops current understanding of his oeuvre beyond his most iconic images.

Doisneau’s photographs blurred the distinctions between the documentary and the staged in depicting everyday moments of daily Parisian life. Imbued with wit and empathy, his images of the working-class milieu were greatly influenced by 1930s photojournalism, humanistic reportage of the 1940s and 1950s and by 1960s fashion photography.

Bruce Silverstein Photography is at 535 West 24 Street. For information, 212-627-3930 or www.BruceSilverstein.com.
