Paris Ou La Vocation De L'image

Paris ou la vocation de l'image is a collaborative artistic work published in 1981 by Rotovision in Geneva. The book features 127 black and white photographs captured by the Brazilian photographer Alécio de Andrade, who was a member of Magnum Photos. These images are paired with an essay written in French by the renowned Argentine author Julio Cortázar. Part of 'The Master Collection' (Book II), the work explores the visual vocation of Paris through a poetic lens. The publication is noted for its high-quality production and serves as a significant contribution to the photographic documentation of Parisian life, blending Andrade's visual narrative with Cortázar's literary exploration.
