Marcel Bolomet
About
Marcel Bolomet, né Bolomey (14 November 1905 in Carouge, Switzerland – 13 April 2003 in Hawaii), was a Swiss-French photographer who photographed many of the pivotal events during the 1930s and 1940s. He was the first official photographer for the United Nations, photographed the League of Nations, the first World Jewish Congress, and the last World Zionist Congress before the outbreak of World War II. He was a freelance photojournalist during the War and he photographed Benito Mussolini’s death as well as the liberation of Paris. His work has been described as "having the humor, warmth and sensuality of Kertesz and is far more formal and design oriented than Doisneau." His work is “reminiscent of the work of fellow European photographers Robert Doisneau, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Andre Kertesz, and Henri Cartier-Bresson … The significance of Bolomet’s images resides not only in their historic value but in their sensitivity and humanity."
