Le Paris de Maurice Bonnel, 1950-1965

Paris From March 23, 2022 to April 5, 2022

The Paris of Maurice Bonnel, 1950-1965.

On the occasion of the release of the book "Le Paris de Maurice Bonnel, 1950-1965" by Patrick Marsaud published by Michel Lagarde, the Atelier/Galerie Taylor is exhibiting the silver photographs of Maurice Bonnel.

“Maurice Bonnel's work is in the so-called “humanist” line of French photography, a current to which Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis, Sabine Weiss, Edouard Boubat and many others are affiliated. He began by photographing his street and the surrounding arteries, sometimes following his daughter's first steps. Documenting his close neighborhood, he moved further and further away from it, until he moved. His walks then illustrated the themes he had chosen: cinemas, the Seine, children, posters or shops, watching for details that no one had noticed, and the humor of a situation or a teaches. Nothing was to give him more pleasure than to find the plate of a doctor Carabin or that of a dental surgeon named Boucherie, to associate that of the Dragon clinic with an adjoining tripe shop, to photograph a charcuterie located next to a café called “Aux Assassins”, tramps on the steps of the Ministry of Finance, or two movie posters: one for How to Succeed in Love, the other for Landru." Patrick Marsaud
