Brassai: The Monograph

"When you meet the man you see at once that he is equipped with no ordinary eyes", said Henry Miller of his friend's photographic genius. One of the major photographers of the century, Brassai (1899-1984) is best known for his chronicling of demimonde Paris in the 1930s and his classic portraits of artists such as Matisse, Picasso, and countless Surrealists. Along with the superb duotone reproduction of Brassai's work, this comprehensive monograph will include an interview with his widow and essays on his distinguished career.
