By Peter Turnley and Adam Gopnik.
As these loving but unsentimental images make evident, Turnley is a descendant of such master French photographers as Brassai, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, and Edouard Boubat. The latter two, in fact, have written brief tributes to him that serve as forewords to this book. Yet Turnley's work is uniquely his own, rooted in his 25 year affair of the heart with the most beautiful city in the world. A longtime resident of the city, he invites us to share an intimate Paris that outsiders rarely see, giving us seductive glimpses of Paris life as lived on the street, in the Metro, and in countless neighborhood cafes. Photos date 1975-2000. Note: Remainder mark.
