Until May 1st, Forte di Bard hosts another great master of photography: Robert Doisneau. Through his portraits, Doisneau is defined the greatest artist of so-called “humanist photography” and, along with Cartier-Bresson, he is one of the founders of photojournalism, thanks to his extraordinary ability to depict reality in its everyday perspective. A large part of 20th Century Parisian iconography is the result of the images he created and that have become part of the imaginary collective, captivating all those that have admired them. Doisneau gives us a monumental fresco of both Paris and its people, immortalizing them in their most curious and contradictory aspects
