Paris by Night
by Brassai
Photographs: Brassai
Text: Paul Morand
Publisher: Pantheon Books
90 pages
Pictures: 62
Year: 1987
ISBN: 0394563271
Price: 125 €
Comments: Hardcover with slip case. 32 x 28 cm. Very good condition.
Published for the first time in 1933 and originally designed by Brassaï himself, this is a high-quality reproduction of his legendary first book of photographs. The city of Paris bewitched Brassaï. Working as a journalist by day, by night he roamed the streets of the capital and visited its bistros, sharing moments in the lives of the prostitutes and peddlers, down-and-outs, and illicit lovers who lived on the margins of society. Their nocturnal surroundings fascinated the artist, whose photographs are as much an exploration of the technical challenge of portraying darkness as portraits of a hauntingly dramatic night world. With an introduction by Paul Morand
