»I don't take pictures of dogs. To me, dogs are people.« - Elliott Erwitt
The print was made in 2012 on the occasion of Erwitt's personale »Paris Sera Toujours Paris« at the Chanel Nexus Hall in Tokyo. The show, whose title quotes a chanson by Maurice Chevalier, drew an essence of Erwitt's best shots from the Seine metropolis.
It was here that he had been born to Russian-Jewish parents. At the age of 11, Erwitt had to immigrate to the USA, where he began taking photographs and became a full member of Magnum in 1953. Among the distinguished representatives of humanistic photojournalism, he stands out especially for his humour.
