Brassa‹

No photographer is more closely associated with a city than Brassaû? (1899ª¤1984) is with Paris. From the moment he moved there in 1924, he devoted his life and art to immortalizing his adopted city ª¤ capturing the street life by day, the cafû?s and the Seine by night. A friend of Picasso and Henry Miller, Brassaû? knew and photographed the leading figures of his day ª¤ Giacometti, Sartre, Dalû?, Matisse and Mann among them. His most famous portraits and cityscapes, collected in this volume, form a unique vision of life in pre- and post-war Europe.
