Arriving in Paris in 1924, Brassaï immersed himself in the city's nightlife, using photography to capture a society on the brink of change. This book, featuring sixty-four images, showcases his fascination with the nighttime, portraying police, prostitutes, the homeless, and socialites in an enigmatic, dreamlike style. As a Hungarian expatriate, Brassaï connected with the avant-garde, notably Picasso and surrealist circles, and quickly made his mark as an innovative photographer. Compiled by Brassaï, this work marks his artistic emergence and reflects the unique ambiance of nocturnal Paris in the early 20th century.
