Offers a profile of the French photographer and gathers a selection of his works.

Brassai took his first photographs with a friend's camera in 1929 and was immediately hooked.

In this study of Brassai's complete oeuvre, the author analyzes Brassai's paradoxical position between documentary realism and surrealism in the France of the 1930s.

Roaming Paris streets by night in the early 1930s, Brassa created arresting images of the city's dramatic nocturnal landscape. First published in French in 1932, this new edition brings one of Brassa's finest works back into print.

Throughout the 20th century, French photographer Brassaï remained at the cutting edge of avant-garde, and he refused to espouse a single style.
