PrésentationThe Métro is a world of infinite richness that continues to stimulate vision. From 1900 to the present day, this book offers an anthology of photographs of the Paris Métro. It sets out to reveal to the public—to Métro travelers, especially—the close ties that unite photography and the great epic of the Métropolitain. Photography is closely linked to the history of the Paris Métro: it has tirelessly documented the various stages of the Métro's construction, its major transformations, its works of art, its effect on the city's esthetic, its sociology, its dramas, its poetry... ... While photographers—many of them famous—have done much to spread the Métro's image throughout the world and establish it as a prestigious element of the City of Light's heritage, the Paris Métro and its world have in turn offered photography and its historical development the sources of an exceptional, burgeoning iconography in which a number of masterpieces were born.,4e de couvertureThe Métro is a world of infinite richness that continues to stimulate vision.

4ème de couverture

In 1900, as the first metro rolled from west to east across Paris, from Porte Maillot to Porte de Vincennes, photography had already been around for half a century. Turnofthe- century technological advances had created smaller, lighter cameras--the first Kodaks--which introduced the practice to a wider market. As Parisians fell in love with their new mode of transport, photography became a more widespread pastime. All genres and photographic practices are represented in this overview, from photojournalism to photo stories, street photography, fashion photography, architectural photography and industrial photography. The major figures of photography all snapped the Paris metro from the humanists - Doisneau, Henri-Cartier Bresson, Brassaï, Boubat, Izis, Kollar, Ronis, and more - to photojournalists such as Robert Capa, William Klein, and van der Keuken, not forgetting the scores of great international photographers who have passed through Paris. This ambitious work is a magnificent and charming hybrid: a history of the fascinating development of the Paris metro--long a cultural symbol of France, Art Nouveau and urban technological innovation--in all its diversity, alongside a history of photography in Paris from the early 20th century to the present day.Biographie de l'auteurAnne-Marie Garat est née en 1946 à Bordeaux. Après des études de Lettres, elle poursuit un DEA de Cinéma à l'université de Paris I.S'intéressant à l'expérimentation de la pédagogie de l'image, elle a enseigné le cinéma et la photographie à Périgueux, puis à Paris et dans sa banlieue.
