I'm overwhelmed with emotion that this was the place where it collapsed due to a big fire last year. Of course the photo was taken by Brassai but it's probably him who applied the wonderful processing of Eliogravure." Oversize Hardcover. 10.75" wide by 12.75" tall.

Each signed "Halász" upper right. <br style=""><br style="">Known primarily for his dramatic photographs of Paris at night the artist's pseudonym Brassaï is derived from the name of his native city. He trained as an artist and settled in Paris in 1924 working there as a sculptor painter and journalist and associating with such artists as Pablo Picasso Joan Miró Salvador Dalà and the writer Henry Miller. Although he disliked photography at the time he found it necessary to use it in his journalistic assignments and soon came to appreciate the medium's unique aesthetic qualities. In his remarkable oeuvre of photographs Brassai imbues even the most inanimate images with a warm sense of human life. The present early collection of drawings shows the artist honing his eye through keen observation of detail and nuance precisely the qualities which would inform the work for which he is today best remembered. <br style=""> hardcover books

193324569Paris: Edition Arts et Metiers Graphiques 1933. First edition. Stiff Wraps. Original spiral binding front cover lettered in red. Very good. Unpaginated. Six leaves. 25 x 19 cm. 62 photogravure plates after Brassai. Printed by Draeger with exceptional photogravure plates this series of nocturnal Parisian views with its evocative text by Morand is something of an Art Deco classic. PHOTOBOOK I p. 134: “a ravishing book object in a purely physical sense. The printing represents arguably the most luscious gravure ever seen the blacks being so rich and deep that after handling the book one expects to find sooty deposits all over one’s fingers. The gradation of tones is wonderfully subtle describing an apparently infinite range of black and near-black tones. The layout with its characteristic full-page bleeds never more felicitously employed takes us from image to image from page to page and across night-time Paris with effortless panache. One should think of it as amongst the best produced and influential photobooks ever†HASSELBLAD. 110. PARR/BADGER. I 134. ROTH. 76. Slight crease front cover.
