“I always felt the difference between New York and Paris is that Paris nourishes you by the fact that it is very beautiful.You see living history all around you. The whole flavor of the place is one of harmony and beauty. It raises the human spirit"
~ Louis Stettner
Louis moved to Paris in the late 1940’s and immediately felt at home there and that this is where he also belonged. He was immediately embraced by the French photo community and “adopted” by the older Brassai. He also became friends with the other great French humanist photographers like Edouard Boubat, Robert Doisneau and Willy Ronis. He roamed around the streets like a natural “flâneur" where he encountered this family on a Sunday stroll. A simple pleasure.
