1976rif. 26004New York:: Pantheon 1976. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with just a touch of edge wear. The Secret Paris of the '30s is one of the most evocative photographic memoirs ever published. For years it was known that Brassai had taken a series of 'secret photographs' which could not be published because of their daring nature. Alone or in the company of friends he discovered the forbidden Paris of the 1930s - its brothels whores pimps and opium dens - the sordid yet bewitching bas-monde where high society mingled with the underworld. Brassai's photographs reveal a milieu previously known only through books such as the novels of Henry Miller a frequent companion on his nocturnal rambles: the seamy grimy yet infinitely exciting reality that tourists still think of when they seek 'Paris by night'. These fascinating images are accompanied by Brassai's own text in which he describes the extraordinary conditions under which he took his photographs. Pantheon, unknown

Despite strong personal and professional ties in the U.S.--Henry Miller Harper's Bazaar's Carmel Snow and Edward Steichen who featured Brassai's work in many MoMA exhibitions--Brassai remained reticent about travel to the U.S. until 1957 when Holiday magazine offered generous compensation and artistic freedom to photograph New York and Louisiana. From the first symbolic image of this voyage--the Statue of Liberty appearing over the ship's prow--Brassai came under the spell of America and his photographs innately captured his new perspective. In New York he was captivated by the graphic skyscrapers and the rhythmic to-ing and fro-ing of the crowds. Unlike his static photographs of Paris--posing prostitutes embracing lovers sleeping street people--here he captured sequences of movement--children playing fashionable women parading by or the effects of light filtering through the urban architecture. In Louisiana he continued to photograph more languorous sequences but here he reveled in color--the copper skin of sunbathers the pastel tones of prom dresses the vibrant neon of amusement park attractions. The New Orleans music halls nightlife women and exotic vegetation recall scenes from 1930s Paris. This exuberant study of 1950s America offers the reader unprecedented access to Brassai's work including previously unpublished color photography. . 2011. 2080200844 . Flammarion hardcover
