Brassa\u00ef beyond the streets of Paris: a survey featuring fashion photography, artist collaborations, sculptures and more<\/p>\n
After the publication of his photobook Paris de nuit (1933), Hungarian French photographer Brassa\u00ef (1899\u20131984) became inextricably linked with the City of Light. Yet his influence spread far beyond the French borders: from his collaboration with Edward Steichen to his 1957 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
\nCurated by the photographer\u2019s nephew, Philippe Ribeyrolles, The Eye of Paris revives Brassai\u2019s body of work, offering a full overview of his evolution. Arranged thematically, it journeys through different views of the city as well as different facets of Brassa\u00ef\u2019s oeuvre. \u201cParis by Day\u201d and \u201cParis by Night\u201d contain his most iconic photographs, from Paris landmarks to ordinary street scenes. One chapter focuses on graffiti, which he documented not only in Paris but across Europe. Another section explores Brassa\u00ef\u2019s relationship with other Paris-based artists, including Colette, Matisse, Picasso, Leonor Fini and Germaine Richier. Peppered throughout with Brassa\u00ef\u2019s sculptures and sketches, The Eye of Paris is a comprehensive look at the artist and the city he called home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
