Paris by Night

Paris by Night by Brassai, Gyula Halasz. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780394755526.

Roaming Paris streets by night in the early 1930s, Brassa created arresting images of the citys dramatic nocturnal landscape. First published in French in 1932, this new edition brings one of Brassas finest works back into print. The back alleys, metro stations, and bistros he photographed are at turns hauntingly empty or peopled by prostitutes, laborers, thugs, and lovers. "Paris by Night" is a stunning portrait of nighttime in the City of Light, as captured by its most articulate observer. 62 photos.
