NIEPCE (Janine). - Lot 232
NIEPCE (Janine). The Reality of the Moment. Foreword by Claude Roy. Lausanne: La Guilde du Livre, undated (circa 1975–1978). Large quarto, illustrated hardcover by the publisher. A beautiful monograph dedicated to Janine Niepce (1921–2007), one of the leading figures in postwar French humanist photography. The book brings together a substantial collection of photographs taken between the 1950s and 1970s, bearing witness to the profound changes in French society. A freelance photographer since the Liberation, Janine Niepce devoted her work to women, rural life, labor, industry, May ’68, economic and social transformations, and everyday life. Her deeply humanistic perspective builds on that of Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis, and Édouard Boubat, while asserting a highly distinctive documentary style. The volume is prefaced by Claude Roy and is lavishly illustrated with full-page black-and-white reproductions. Condition: good copy. Very slight signs of wear on the cover; interior is very fresh and clean.
