Brassaï’s work, already famous by the start of the 1950s, has come to be recognized as one of the cornerstones of the birth and evolution of a new trend in photography which emerged between the two world wars, transcending its purely documentary nature and restoring the concept of photography as a creative medium. The exhibition follows all of the artistic facets of the photographer, from photos through to drawings of female nudes; it documents the trips commissioned by the magazine Harper’s Bazaar and featured is evidence of his keenness to document the world of graffiti.
