‎Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag stw. berieben. - Englisch. - Brassaï (* 9. September 1899 in Kronstadt (Österreich-Ungarn); ? 8. Juli 1984 in Nizza) war ein französischer Künstler, besonders Fotograf, ungarischer Herkunft. Brassaïs Arbeiten sind wegweisend für seine Zeit, da er die damals schwierige Technik der Fotografie bei Nacht meisterte. Dabei blieb er nicht im Technischen stecken; vielmehr drückte er in seinen Aufnahmen seine Liebe zu Paris und zu seinen Bewohnern aus. Er verfügte über ein scharfes Auge "für das, was sich zwischen den Menschen des Schattens abspielt. ... Brassaï ist in die Eingeweide der Stadt hineingestiegen und hat ihnen menschliche Schicksale entlockt, die wir nicht kannten" (L. Fritz Gruber). Seine Bilder sind immer aufrichtig und überzeugend, weil er die Dargestellten nicht überfiel, sondern sie - auch wenn sie der "Unterwelt" angehörten - zu vertrauensvoller Zusammenarbeit gewinnen konnte. Auch wenn er Schwächen sichtbar machte, machte er nicht lächerlich; eher ist ein leises Schmunzeln spürbar. Brassaï selber sagte dazu: There are many photographs which are full of life but which are confusing and difficult to remember. It is the force of an image which matters. (dt.: "Es gibt viele Fotos, die voller Leben, aber die unübersichtlich und schwer zu merken sind. Es ist die Kraft des Bildes, die zählt.") Weniger bekannt ist, dass Brassaï - neben Man Ray - auch der Fotograf der Surrealisten war. Er nahm Kristalle und Gewächse so auf, dass sie ihrem gewöhnlichen Zusammenhang entzogen wurden und zu freien Wesenheiten mutierten. So konnten sie ihre imaginäre Kraft ohne inhaltliche Zwänge entfalten. ?

‎Paris de Nuit‎

‎Paris: Edition Arts et Métiers Graphiques 1933. Former owner's innocuous book plate signature that reads "Brassai" but likely not in the photographer's hand light edge creases to the bottom corners gently handled with minor wear; a solid very good copy lacking serious defects in photo-illustrated spiral-bound wrappers. First Edition. Spiral bound quarto sixty-four gravure plates. The best-known and most iconic of the great Paris photobooks printed in a deep gravure so tactile it seems almost as if charcoal will rub off on the hands of the viewer. The cobblestone covers and endpapers are particularly evocative. Parr / Badger v1 134; Roth 76-77. Paris: Edition Arts et Métiers Graphiques unknown books‎

Although he disliked photography at the time he found it necessary to use it in his journalistic assignments and soon came to appreciate the medium's unique aesthetic qualities. In his remarkable oeuvre of photographs Brassai imbues even the most inanimate images with a warm sense of human life. The present early collection of drawings shows the artist honing his eye through keen observation of detail and nuance precisely the qualities which would inform the work for which he is today best remembered. <br style=""> hardcover books‎

‎Paris de Nuit‎

‎Paris: Edition Arts et Metiers Graphiques 1933. First edition. Stiff Wraps. Original spiral binding front cover lettered in red. Very good. Unpaginated. Six leaves. 25 x 19 cm. 62 photogravure plates after Brassai. Printed by Draeger with exceptional photogravure plates this series of nocturnal Parisian views with its evocative text by Morand is something of an Art Deco classic. PHOTOBOOK I p. 134: “a ravishing book object in a purely physical sense. The printing represents arguably the most luscious gravure ever seen the blacks being so rich and deep that after handling the book one expects to find sooty deposits all over one’s fingers. The gradation of tones is wonderfully subtle describing an apparently infinite range of black and near-black tones. The layout with its characteristic full-page bleeds never more felicitously employed takes us from image to image from page to page and across night-time Paris with effortless panache. One should think of it as amongst the best produced and influential photobooks ever†HASSELBLAD. 110. PARR/BADGER. I 134. ROTH. 76. Slight crease front cover.
