‎Brassai. The Monograph. Edited by Alain Sayag and Annick Lionel-Marie. A Bulfinch Press Book.‎

‎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. ?
