Taking a belated honeymoon in 1952, photographer René Groebli and his wife Rita spent two weeks in the Parisian district of Montparnasse. In their modest hotel room, Groebli almost tangibly captured a tender intimacy, enveloping us in a world of light, shadow, and delicate movement. The gentle and poetic images seem to trace the fleeting moments of a single day, creating a love poem without words. A year later, Groebli transformed 25 selected photographs of this journey (and a side trip to Marseille) into a picture essay that has made photographic history since.
