English:

Gelatin silver print, printed in the 1950s on single-weight glossy paper 30,5 x 24 cm, in very good condition. Photographer's copyright stamp "R. Doisneau, Droits de reproduction réserves", agency stamp "Rapho" on the reverse. LITERATURE Drei Sekunden Ewigkeit – Photographien von Robert Doisneau, Munich 1980, p. 109; Peter Hamilton, Robert Doisneau. A photographer's Life, Paris 1995, p. 59 (variant); Galerie Claude Bernard (ed.), Robert Doisneau, Paris 2000, pl. 13.

The photograph was taken at the "fête des gondoles", a street parade in Choisy-le-Roi, where Doisneau's girlfriend Pierrette lived. The photographer saw in the man with his home-made aeroplane the absurdity of everyday life that inspired him and he followed him for a long time; his biographer Peter Hamilton described the motif as "one of his most telling portraits of the banlieusard".

Deutsch:

Silbergelatineabzug, geprintet in den 1950er Jahren auf glänzendem Papier 30,5 x 24 cm, in sehr gutem Zustand. Rückseitig Fotografen-Copyrightstempel "R. Doisneau, Droits de reproduction réserves" und Agenturstempel "Rapho". LITERATUR Drei Sekunden Ewigkeit – Photographien von Robert Doisneau, München 1980, S. 109; Peter Hamilton, Robert Doisneau. A photographer's Life, Paris 1995, S. 59 (Variante); Galerie Claude Bernard (Hg.), Robert Doisneau, Paris 2000, Abb. 13.

Die Aufnahme entstand beim "fête des gondoles", einem Straßenumzug in Choisy-le-Roi, wo Doisneaus Freundin Pierrette lebte. Der Fotograf sah in dem Mann mit seinem selbstgebastelten Flugzeug jene Absurdität des Alltags, die ihn begeisterte und er folgte ihm längere Zeit; sein Biograf Peter Hamilton beschrieb das Motiv als eines seiner aussagekräftigsten Bilder vom Leben in den Pariser Vorstädten.
