Brassai - Conversations with Picasso (Art Ebook).pdf

pdf / English / 1999 University of Chicago / ISBN 10 0226071480 / 424 pages / 66 MB

Since the early days of his career, Brassai has been our guide to avantgarde Paris. Not only was Brassai a noted photographer—nicknamed "the eye of Paris" by Henry Miller—he was also a prolific author and journalist whose Letters to My Parents was named "a small classic in the history of the medium" by Jed Perl in the New Republic.

In that book, as well as many others, Brassai described, with charm and humor, the many important artists and writers with whom he developed close personal and professional relationships.

Not the least among these was Picasso. Brassai recorded his many meetings and appointments with the great Spanish artist from 1943 to 1946, resulting in conversations with Picasso.
