PALM SPRINGS - ROBERT DOISNEAU GEBUNDEN

A fresh and unexpected collection of Robert Doisneau's color photography captures the glamour
and nostalgia of Palm Springs in the early 1960s. 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 Hollywood's 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 Doisneau's original Fortune article-provides a fresh
perspective into his photographic legacy  as well a unique occasion to revisit the early years
of one of America's legendary destinations.
