Book: Brassai in America 1957
Artist: Gyula Halasz (Brassai)
Published by: Flammarion
Description: This book displays 150 of his previously unpublished street photographs from the 1950’s. At the age of 60 Brassai took a trip to the united states and captured candid photos of children playing, fashionable woman and also the architecture of America.
My thoughts: I chose this book because Brassai’s work intrigued me and grabbed my attention. He knew how to get a shot in the moment without manipulating things. His photos have lots of life and motion in them, he was able to capture the busy world around him.
