BRASSAI
Paris de Nuit. MORAND, Paul. Paris: Arts et Métiers Graphiques, [1933]. Small folio; 60 full page photographic reproductions. Original spiral bound photographic wraps printed in black and red. A bright, very good plus or better copy. First edition of Brassaï's first book. An very nice copy of a notoriously fragile book. Brassaï's career as a photographer started because he was captivated by Paris at night, and spent countless sleepless nights wandering its street, alone, or with a friend. Henry Miller showed him the bars and bistros, while Jacques Prévert showed him the world of vagrants, street actors, acrobats, bums, and labourers. Brassaï had despised the 'mindless mechanism' of photography until André Kertész loaned him a camera, and Brassaï was able to fix the night scenes which until then would vanish at dawn. Brassaï became a master of taking pictures under poor light conditions. In the course of shooting the images in Paris de Nuit Brassaï was arrested several times during police raids because they refused to believe that it was possible to take pictures at three in the morning. Mrázková, Masters of Photography, pp. 114-115.
