Robert Doisneau: Palm Springs
1960 by Robert Doisneau (English) Hardcover Book
This book is brand new and obviously in perfect condition.
This wonderful collection of Robert Doisneaus color photography that captures the glamour and nostalgia of Palm Springs in the early 1960s. Together with its 156 pages in color.
In 1961, celebrated French photographer Robert Doisneau was invited by "Fortune" magazine to cover Palm Springs, the hottest travel destination of the day. This renowned paradise catered to Hollywoods affluent and reached international acclaim as an indulgent playground for the rich and famous, as well as a silverhaired and well-heeled clientele.
It was a world of swimming pools awash with bobbing beehives, martini-fueled parties, and relaxed golf sets, all unfolding against the desert backdrop of this California oasis. While there, Doisneau took hundreds of photographs, twenty-three of which were published in the magazine. The rest have been rediscovered in his archives and one hundred are featured in this unprecedented volume.
Doisneau is most recognized for his black and white portraits of Parisian street scenes. This rare color collection which includes a facsimile reproduction of Doisneaus original "Fortune" article provides a fresh perspective into his photographic legacy, as well a unique occasion to revisit the early years of one of Americas legendary destinations.
