1976réf. 142641976. Brassaï Gyula Halász. Letter discussing the publication of The Secret Paris of the Thirties written by the Hungarian born photographer whose images of Paris nightlife helped define twentieth century documentary photography. Brassaï gained international recognition through his photographs of nocturnal Paris produced during the early 1930s images that documented the city's bars cabarets streets and marginalized social spaces with unusual candor and atmospheric lighting. His 1933 book Paris de Nuit established his reputation and led writer Henry Miller to describe him as "the eye of Paris." This 1976 letter was written during the release of The Secret Paris of the Thirties a publication that expanded the photographic record of Parisian nightlife by presenting images from the same early period that had remained unpublished or excluded from earlier editions. Brassaï Gyula Halász. Typed Letter Signed "Brassai". Paris September 9 1976. One page on personal stationery measuring approximately 11 3/4 x 8 1/4 inches. Writing in French Brassaï discusses the simultaneous publication of his new photography book and his upcoming exhibition in New York. In the letter he notes: "My book the Secret Paris of the Thirties Pantheon Books is due out at the same time." He continues by mentioning travel plans connected with the exhibition writing that he will be in New York from September 12 to September 28 in order to attend the opening of his show at the Marlborough Gallery. Brassaï also remarks on the date of the letter noting that it coincides with his seventy seventh birthday. The letter is signed in large purple marker "Brassai" with an underline and includes a handwritten postscript in green marker reading "venir nous soutenir" translated as "come support us." The Secret Paris of the Thirties published in 1976 more than four decades after the photographs were first taken completed Brassaï's long project of documenting the hidden nightlife of interwar Paris. Many of the photographs originated from the same period as those reproduced in Paris de Nuit but had remained unpublished because they were considered too provocative for earlier editions. The images depict bars nightclubs one night hotels bordellos and other locations associated with the city's nocturnal culture. Brassaï later wrote of his motivation for photographing the city at night: "I was inspired to become a photographer by my desire to translate all things that enchanted me in the nocturnal Paris I was experiencing." The Marlborough Gallery exhibition in New York was organized in conjunction with the publication of the book and introduced many of these photographs to a wider audience for the first time. Folded twice through the center as mailed; otherwise clean and well preserved. Overall very good condition. A content rich letter documenting the publication and exhibition history of one of Brassaï's most significant photographic projects. unknown

réf. 002510Paris: Paris-Publications This is a near fine copy of the rarest of Brassai's books which has been bound into a hardcover binding from the period in handsome red and black marbled paper-covered boards and a linen cloth spine with red leather label gilt title. The original binding of this book was a spiral plastic ring type. The spiral binding was taken off and the book with its original red-orange covers with the title printed in large white letters was bound in whole. Covers are bright and clean in very good condition small closed tear to bottom corner of back cover inside completely clean. There is no date on the colophon page inside back cover and there apparently were two editions. The first edition was published in 1930 but Brassai was reportedly unhappy with the selection of images and because he was not credited. In our copy he is credited as the photographer and so we assume this is the second edition from ca.1934. It is unpaginated. There are 40 pages with 38 black and white photographs of ladies of the night strippers models night clubs and balls like the Bal Tabarin shots of tough streetwalkers in Les Halles many shots of men and women in costume sometimes drag also a lesbian couple in a club "strictement Feminine" shots of lovers in parks on streets playful shots of men looking into a lingerie shop window with elaborately garbed mannequins at night 1 shot of Kiki in a Montparnasse night club an amazing shot in " La Cage a Femmes d'un Grand Music-Hall Parisien" which shows a cage or pit viewed from above with women on stools like lions in various states of undress and performing "acrobatic" feats. Finally tipped in at the very end on the collophon page a half-page size shot in color of a nude woman in profile we assume not by Brassai. Large 4to 11" high X 8" wide. The original book was not cut down when re-bound it is in its' intended size and because of the re-binding it has been kept in near fine condition. A beautiful copy of a true rarity. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking. Hard Cover. Near Fine. Paris-Publications Hardcover

1933réf. 2311Paris: Arts et Métiers Graphiques 1933. First Edition. Near fine. Spiral-bound Quarto 9 7/8 x 7 1/2 inches 248 x 191 mm 12 pp 62 photogravure plates after photographs by Brassaï each numbered in lower outer corner. Spiral bound stiff card covers without jacket as issued; housed in a custom clamshell case lined in red felt covered in red cloth with morocco spine gilt title. Two-notch chip at bottom of spiral extending into first leaf and one notch at top of spiral; pages lightly toned at the edges but photogravures in excellent condition. 8 pages of text in French by Paul Morand plus a 4 page index with detailed captions for each of the photographs. As beautifully stated in the first line of Paul Morand's introduction to this exceptional collection of photographs: Paris at night is not the negative of the day; the surfaces not not stop being white to become black: in reality they are not even the same images." The 62 photographs by Hungarian-born photographer Brassaï Gyula Halász capture nocturnal scenes throughout Paris - from glowing wet pavement and empty streets to bars cafés and the denizens of Paris at night. This was Brassaï's first published photo book and the work that established his reputation as a master of night photography showcasing his ability to extract light and atmosphere from darkness. A collector's treasure scarce in good condition this is one of the most influential photo books ever produced and is admired not just for its content but for the its productions values: the deep and velvety gravure printing and the evocative layout make it an object of intense tactile and visual appeal. The photogravures are in exceptional condition-richly inked with deep velvety blacks luminous highlights and a striking tonal range that preserves the full atmospheric subtlety of Brassaï's nocturnal vision. The plates retain remarkable clarity and contrast with a vividness and depth seldom found testifying to both the high production standards of Arts et Métiers Graphiques and the care with which this copy has been preserved.
