"Gaston PARIS was one of Paris's most popular reporters in the 1930s, whether it was dancers of the 'Folies Bergère', acrobats in the circus, mannequins of the surrealists, stars of the French chanson scene or modern steel architectures - Gaston PARIS took everything the same formal perfection in scene.
With his numerous reports in French illustrated newspapers, especially in the legendary magazine VU, the photographer created a dazzling image of Paris and French society before the Second World War.
After 1945, pictorial reports from the French occupation zones in Germany and Austria followed, before Gaston put PARIS on the world of illusions and photographed for the new genre of photo novels." (free translated publisher's note, © Koenig 2019)
