BRASSAI

Brassai (1899-1984) was one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century. A native Hungarian, he based himself in Paris to become acclaimed for his nocturnal photographs of the streets and night life in Paris.

Associated with Surrealism, Brassaï also worked closely with Picasso imaginatively recording work in the artist's studio and in particular documenting Picasso's activities as a sculptor.
