Boulevard de Clichy 1947 Vintage silver photograph on paper mounted on card signed, dated, titled and stamped by the photographer on the back 36.5 x 26.5 cm Provenance: > Succession Édouard Boubat > Galerie Baudoin Lebon, Paris (label on back) > Collection of Monsieur A., Nice Condition report: Inset "What can we reproach photography for, if not its apparent simplicity? "Press the button, we'll do the rest...". We like to say that the photographer has nothing to do. And that's true to some extent. Only, it's all about that nothing. Don't get in the way of that nothing, that elusiveness." Édouard Boubat --- What can you criticize about photography, apart from its apparent simplicity? Press the button and we'll do the rest...". We like to say that the photographer has nothing to do. And that's true to some extent. But it's all about that nothing. Don't get in the way of that nothingness, that elusiveness." Édouard Boubat
