Paris by Elliott Erwitt (Singed)

Alternating intimate details with grand vistas, Erwitt captures the true flavor of la metropole. Born in Paris in 1928, Elliott Erwitt arrived in the U.S. in the late 1930s. Establishing himself in the '40s and '50s as a leading magazine photographer, he joined the prestigious Magnum agency in 1953. In addition to his work in magazines, he achieved great success as an advertising photographer and filmmaker. He currently lives in New York City--but spends a great deal of time in Paris.

Erwitt looks at Paris with eyes of a flaneur. His Paris is the city of boulevards and cafes, of jardins and cabarets. He thus adds to the metropolis' myth, but thanks to his inimitable sense for the particularities of the everyday we feel like walking through the city for the very first time.
