BRASSAÏ, & Paul Morand.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Paris de Nuit. First edition of the photographer's first publication, an exploration of the nocturnal life of Paris. Brassaï showcases his mastery "at drawing luminosity from the darkness. The swaths of wet paving stones featured on the covers and endpapers of Paris de Nuit gleam like pale beacons in the streetlight. Inside, Brassaï explores the city, beginning with its broad vistas and grand public spaces and gradually moving into the demimonde he knew so intimately" (Roth, p. 76).
