This book delves into the world of Brassaï, a celebrated Hungarian-born photographer who captured Paris's vibrant and gritty life after World War I. Known for his nocturnal explorations, Brassaï documented the city's marginalized figures—such as prostitutes and hoodlums—through moody, atmospheric photography. The book features an extensive selection of his finest works, complemented by an essay on his life and art. Organized into thematic chapters like Minotaure magazine, Paris at Night, Secret Paris, Day Visions, Artists of My Life, and Graffiti and Transmutations, it offers a comprehensive look at Brassaï's artistic vision and his influence on Paris's cultural elite.
