THE BEST OF BRASSAI

This volume presents the diverse facets of Brassaïs beloved Paris: from the nostalgic city that he discovered as a child in the 1900 s, to the fleeting graffiti on the citys walls/ from the revelers in the Bohemian bars and clubs, to his reciprocal artistic exchang e with Picasso in their portrayals of 1930s Paris/ and finally to Brassaïs vision of an eternal Paris, in which he captured everyday Parisians at leisure and elevated the familiar to the sublime.
