(ANSA) – AOSTA, 11 FEB – From 5 March to 22 May the Saint-Benin center in Aosta will host the “Robert Doisneau” exhibition, a retrospective on the famous French photographer. The images on display come from the Atelier Doisneau in Montrouge, in the south of Paris. Among the works on display could not miss the famous ‘Kiss’, or “Le Baiser de l’Hôtel de Ville”, a famous and iconic image, taken in 1950, which “captures a magical moment and an emotion that are universal”.
The photographs on display “are empathic images – reads the presentation of the event – that bring the observer closer, make him a participant and not just a spectator. Robert Doisneau embodies the image of the humanist photographer immersed in the life of his city: he captures the breath, emotions, social transformations, he narrates the beauty, the contradictions, the minimal stories that make up the collective history. The French photographer grows together with his city, observes it taking visual notes, tells it starting from the street, he mirrors himself in the games of children who invent their world, he narrates the sometimes rough condition of adults. He always does it with delicacy and grace, sometimes with melancholy, often with a subtly disguised or playfully evident irony “.
