Originally a painter before he moved on to writing, sculpture, cinema and, most famously, photography, Brassaï was a member of Paris's post-World War I cultural elite, and one of Paris's most celebrated photographers.

Prostitutes, hoodlums, and other 'marginal' characters were the most famous heroes of Brassaï 's moody, gritty photographs, often taken by night. This book explores Brassaï 's world with an extensive...

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...

Translated by Richard Howard from Marcel Proust sous l'emprise de la photographie . One of the most original and memorable photographers of the twentieth century, Brassaï was also a journalist, sculptor, and writer. He took great pride in his writing, and he loved literature and language-French most of all. When he arrived in Paris in 1924, Brassaï began teaching himself French by reading Proust. Captured by the sensuality and visual strategies of Proust's writing, Brassaï soon became convinced that...

He also presents a nonjudgmental interpretation of Miller's pornographic (and to...
