Description
Robert Doisneau: Palm Springs offers a unique glimpse into America's legendary holiday destination as it was in the early 1960s. In 1960, Robert Doisneau was invited to cover Palm Springs for Fortune magazine, capturing hundreds of photographs that showcased its glamorous world of swimming pools, parties and golf. This collection features twenty-three previously published images, plus one hundred newly discovered photographs from his archives. A rare colour collection, this book is supplemented by a facsimile reproduction of Doisneau's original article and extracts from his personal correspondence, offering a new perspective on his photographic legacy. Accompanying these nostalgic images are humorous anecdotes about being stranded in the "world capital of winter golf". This book provides a fascinating insight into Doisneau's work and offers a fresh perspective on his photographic style. Accompanied by an introduction written by award-winning French novelist Jean-Paul Dubois, it is a unique opportunity to revisit this iconic era of American holiday culture.
