Editorial
The Hungarian photographer Brassaï is a fundamental figure in the history of 20th century photography. His work, which possesses the documentary nature of photography and its conception as a creative medium, is considered one of the cornerstones of a new artistic trend that emerged between the World War I and II.
This catalog draws a map of his career that shows all the facets of the photographer beyond his famous portraits of Parisian nightlife.
Exhibition curated by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at the MoMA, Museum of Modern Art, (1991-2011).
