Catalogue Note
César dans l'usine de Villetaneuse, vers 1955 (photomontage) © Robert Doisneau / Rapho
« C'est la soudure qui va bénéficier en ce moment précis d'une irrésistible accélération de l'histoire : le phénomène César des années 1954-1956, qui débouche d'un trait fulgurant de l'anonymat du quartier latin sur la gloire du faubourg Saint-Honoré ». (Pierre Restany, César, Paris, 1988, p.34).
