"Paris + Klein is a feast for the eyes" (Mary Blume, International Herald Tribune). The beauty, violence, strangeness, and humor of Paris come to life from still photographs taken by the talented painter and photographer William Klein in this utterly unmatched photo book. Capturing politics, public protest, and the real lives of people in what can only be called 21st century frescoes, Klein has created a striking timepiece, "the antithesis of nostalgia - brusque, in your face and hard-edged" (Dana Thomas, Newsweek).
