A vibrant tribute to 1950s Paris, captured through the lens of a young designer with the eye of an artist.
Paris Colours – Gerard Ifert Ektachromes 1953–1954 is a visually stunning photobook in which Swiss graphic designer Gérard Ifert documents the geometric and colorful storefronts of postwar Paris. During long walks through the city, he photographed this anonymous street art, which he saw as the urban equivalent of Swiss concrete painting.
This unique collection of Ektachromes not only showcases the aesthetics of everyday life but also offers insight into Ifert’s early creative explorations—he would later become an influential figure in graphic design and exhibition architecture. Catherine De Smet accompanies the images with a reflective essay exploring the relationship between art, design, and urban space.
A must-have for lovers of photography, design history, urban culture, and visual art.
