Henry IVliller called his friend Brassai “the eye of
Paris.” This strikingly innovative photographer re-
vealed the City of Light as had no other artist before
him, and his work: continues to influence the art and
practice of photography. In this authoritative, pene-
trating, and comprehensive study of Brassai ’s complete
oeuvre, illustrated with reproductions of many stun-
ning photographs, fVlarja Warehime analyzes Brassai ’s
paradoxical position between documentary real-
ism and Surrealism in the France of the 1 930s. She
stresses the subjects he pursued most passionately: the
shadowy Parisian night, the scrawlings of urban graf-
fiti, the nature of creative genius as reflected in studies
of France’s most celebrated artists and their studios.
Warehime explores Brassai’’s striking, atmospheric
images of cafes, dance halls, brothels, and streets where
workers on the night shift mingle with tourists, night-
clubbers, vagabonds, street toughs, performers, and
prostitutes. Focusing on his photographs, but drawing
also on his literary, aesthetic, biographical, and autobi-
ographical writings--including letters that remain un-
translated from the original Hungarian-----Warehime
examines Brassai s relationship to the Surrealist move-
ment and shows us how his work evokes the cultural
climate of France between the world wars. The history
of his career, she demonstrates, reflects not only the
development of photography but also the sweep of
Western cultural history; his work bridges nineteenth-
century romantic realism and modernism, anticipating
the chief values of media culture: immediacy and
emotional power.
BrassaTs celebrated F*aris by JSiight (1933), his por-
traits of Picasso, his contributions to the journal A/iino-
taure and to André Breton s L’Amour fou, his response
to the realist aesthetics of Zola, his critical reception
and his response to the critics, and his great curiosity
about human experience—all come into play in this
important study. This book is a welcome contribution
to studies of modernism, Surrealism, urbanism, cul-
tural criticism, art, and the history of photography.
