The artwork titled “Selection for Concert,” created by the artist Robert Doisneau in 1952, belongs to the genre of photography.
The photograph captures an intimate and seemingly candid moment inside what appears to be an office. Central to the artwork is a semi-nude individual, partially covered by a coat, standing confidently with a composed face. Surrounding this focal figure are three women, dressed formally, who observe the scene with varying expressions of interest and intrigue. Seated behind a desk, an older man in a suit, holding a pair of glasses in one hand, looks intently at the semi-nude individual. The setting is an interior space with files and books visible, suggesting an environment of work or selection. The composition, expressions, and interactions among the characters in the artwork evoke a sense of curiosity and ambiguity, characteristic of Doisneau’s evocative and narrative-rich style.
