The photographer Marceau Devillers is remembered chiefly for his photographs of James Dean and other Hollywood stars.  


Doisneau worked with writers and poets such as Blaise Cendrars and Jacques Prevert, and he credited Prevert with giving him the confidence to photograph the everyday street scenes that most people simply ignored. Together with Henri Cartier-Bresson he was a pioneer of photojournalism. (17189)
