Brassai

One of the most important and influential photographers of the century, Brassaï (1899—1984) is best known for recording demi-monde Paris in the 1930s. He is also known for revealing the hidden, more seamy side of the city: a shadowy world and it’s inhabitants coming to life at night, and classic photo-portraits of artists such as Matisse, Picasso and members of the Surrealist group.
