He sensed that photography was the tool that would allow him to document his vision of a dying society. Fascinated by the night, which he found disconcerting, enigmatic, and suggestive, Brassaï photographed its every aspect, from police to prostitutes to the homeless to socialites, all in a dreamlike and mysterious manner. In sixty-four images, Brassaï succeeded in remarkably capturing this unique ambience. This book, meticulously assembled by Brassaï himself, signifies the birth of the artist. Brassaï, originally from Hungary, traveled to Paris in 1924, where he began to associate with the avant-garde artist community, in particular with Picasso and the Parisian surrealist circles. He quickly established himself as one of the most original photographers of his generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brassaï","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55042163081543,"sku":"9780821227381","price":48.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/2420\/3079\/files\/0821227386.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1793046516"},{"product_id":"brassai-graffiti","title":"Brassaï - Graffiti","description":"\u003cp\u003eHB, 156 pages\u003cbr\u003e\nFlammarion, 2002\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLisätiedot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrassaï became interested in the marginal art form of graffiti in the 1930s, seeing it as a form of outsider art that could open the door to new forms of artistic expression. His atmospheric photographs capture the essence of this unfettered creation. Stark contrasts of black and white alternate with softer shades of grey that meld into one another, smoothing the harsh gouges typical of graffiti. Several of these photographs first appeared in the Surrealist review Minotaure; others were first published in France and Germany in 1960, in a work entitled Graffiti, which accompanied an exhibition that visited New York, London, Milan, Baden-Baden, Frankfurt, Hannover, and Paris. The approach was hugely influential, both for the Surrealists and in the domain of Outsider Art. Accompanying the photographs are selections from previously unpublished writings, including extracts from Brassaï’s own notebooks, in which he noted the presence of elements of graffiti on the walls of Paris that he intended to photograph. The book also contains an interview with Picasso on the subject of graffiti as an art form. This first English language version of this classic title is a beautifully produced edition of what is undoubtedly a seminal work in the history of modern photography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brassaï","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55042292515143,"sku":"9782080107138","price":81.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/2420\/3079\/files\/2080107135.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg?v=1793046518"},{"product_id":"brassai-an-illustrated-biography","title":"Brassaï - An Illustrated Biography","description":null,"brand":"Brassaï","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55498629644615,"sku":"9782080304971","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/2420\/3079\/files\/view_archive_587ca113-fade-4eb6-87ff-84f32eaad634.jpg?v=1793045314"}],"url":"https:\/\/luova.info\/en-eu\/collections\/valokuvaaja-brassai.oembed","provider":"luova.info","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
