Brassaï. Photographer of the Night
Brassaï maintained: “The night works by suggestion; it never fully reveals things”. This is the reason why his Paris, entirely enveloped in darkness, irresistibly fascinates viewers with its charged atmosphere.
The great photographer from Hungary used to roam the streets of the French capital with Henry Miller and Raymond Queneau, Pablo Picasso and Jean-Paul Sartre or to look for background to his stories for the magazine Détective. Everything he portrayed was strictly true: “I invent nothing, I imagine everything”, he would say to explain that his images were never false. E.S.
