Working\n as a journalist by day, by night he roamed\n the streets of the capital and visited its\n bistros, sharing moments in the lives of the\n prostitutes and peddlers, down-and-outs\n and illicit lovers who lived on the margins\n of society. Their nocturnal surroundings\n fascinated the artist, whose photographs\n are as much an exploration of the technical\n challenge of portraying darkness as\n portraits of a hauntingly dramatic night\n world. \u003ci\u003eParis by Night\u003c\/i\u003e, first published in\n 1933, features over sixty of these poetic\n images, and has become an acknowledged\n classic of urban photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrassaï moved in the same circles as the\n Surrealists - he met Picasso in 1932, and\n worked on \u003ci\u003eLe Minotaure\u003c\/i\u003e, the famous\n Surrealist review. He retained a very\n individual creative vision, however, commenting\n : \"The surreal effect of my pictures\n was nothing more than reality made\n fantastic through a particular vision. All I\n wanted to express was reality, for nothing is\n more surreal.\" This uniquely modern\n perspective has inspired a new generation\n of art critics and historians, and the\n centenary of Brassaï's birth has been the\n catalyst for major retrospective exhibitions\n at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the Houston\n Museum of Fine Arts, the National Gallery\n in Washington, D.C. and the Hayward\n Gallery, London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of this tribute, the current long-overdue\n reissue of \u003ci\u003eParis by Night\u003c\/i\u003e brings one\n of the last century's key photographic works\n back into print.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flammarion","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53721454477654,"sku":"9782080105912-V","price":37.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/morand-paul-paris-by-night-9782080105912","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
