If you’ve ever dreamt of stepping back in time to visit Paris, this book is for you.
Originally a painter before he moved on to writing, sculpture, cinema and, most famously, photography, Brassai (1899-1984) was a member of Paris's cultural elite, counting Miller, Picasso, Sartre, Camus, and Cocteau, among his friends. Camera in hand, he scoured the streets and bars of Paris, unabashedly capturing the city's inhabitants in their natural habitats.
Please note: The front cover is slightly bent around the edges (I'd display without the cover if you prefer) + the book includes some tasteful nudie moments so if that isn’t your vibe, this book may not be for you haha!
