À travers plus de deux cents impressions d’époque, le volume présente un large éventail, exhaustif et inédit, de l’œuvre de Brassaï. Hongrois de naissance mais parisien d’adoption, Brassaï – pseudonyme de Gyula Halász – fut l’un des principaux acteurs de la photographie du xxe siècle, celui que son ami Henry Miller surnommait « l’œil vivant ». Ses clichés d’un Paris mystérieux sont célèbres. Dévoilés par l’éclairage public, enveloppés dans la brume ou baignés par la pluie, ils offrent un témoignage sur l’atmosphère nocturne qui régnait dans la capitale à son époque. Mais Brassaï a également voyagé dans l’Europe entière, en Italie et en Espagne entre autres, et aux États-Unis, laissant derrière lui des photographies qui portent l’empreinte de sa curiosité et de son style. Sa production est proposée ici, de ses premiers clichés influencés par le mouvement surréaliste aux iconiques images de Paris dans ses habits voluptueux et mondains. Une attention particulière a été portée aux « graffiti », immortalisés par Brassaï lors de ses explorations des murs parisiens, révélateurs de son attachement aux arts visuels et à des artistes comme Jean Dubuffet. Enfin, les photographies dédiées au nu féminin, à la mode, aux portraits de ses amis artistes et d’enfants, et ces petits paradoxes et sculptures involontaires que la réalité offrait à son regard et que Brassaï, créateur d’images, savait saisir dans l’immédiateté de l’instant.

The volume offers a chance to approach the work of Brassaï (1899-1984), a multifaceted figure in the history of French photography.
A painter, sculptor and writer in addition to being a photographer, his name is inextricably linked to the masterpiece "Paris de Nuit", published in 1933 with a preface by Paul Morand. Brassaï's views of the capital - illuminated by public lighting and other sources, and at times shrouded in fog - lend a mysterious aura to the urban landscape. Brassaï was a forerunner in capturing the night-time atmosphere of different areas of Paris, masterfully blending photographic art with his personal sensitivity.
The volume, curated by the photographer's nephew Philippe Ribeyrolles, sets out to revive Brassaï's body of work, offering an overview of his evolution over the years. From the artist's collaboration with Edward Steichen to international recognition in the wake of his 1957 exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, Brassaï's influence spreads far beyond the French borders.
Includes texts by Philippe Ribeyrolles, Silvia Paoli, an interview with Gilbert Brassaï, the artist's wife, and biographical information.

Brossura. Etat : new. Bassano del Grappa, Mba, November 16, 2024 - April 21, 2025.Edited by Philippe Ribeyrolles.English and French Text.Cinisello Balsamo, 2024; paperback, pp. 256, 250 b/w ill., cm 24x28. Through more than two hundred vintage photographic prints, this volume presents an in-depth and original window into Brassaï's oeuvre. Hungarian by birth but Parisian by adoption, Brassaï - the pseudonym of Gyula Halász - was one of the absolute protagonists of 20th-century photography, defined by Henry Miller as a "living eye". Renowned are his glimpses of a mysterious Paris, illuminated by streetlamps, enveloped in fog or slick with rain, bearing witness to the nocturnal atmosphere that permeated the French capital of the time; but Brassaï travelled all over Europe - including to Italy and Spain - as well as to the United States, creating a photographic trail that bears the imprint of his curiosity and his style. The full chronological range of his production is unveiled here, from his first shots influenced by an affinity with the Surrealist movement to his iconic images of Parisian pleasure-seekers and socialites. Particular attention is given to his images of "graffiti", captured by Brassaï during his decades-long exploration of the walls of Paris, a mark of his bond with the visual arts and artists such as Jean Dubuffet. Finally, the photographs dedicated to the female nude and to fashion, portraits of artist friends and children, and the small paradoxes and "involuntary sculptures" that reality offered to his gaze and which Brassaï, a creator of images, masterfully grasped in the immediacy of the moment.
