    Brassai: Overview
    Brassaï, professional name of Gyula Halasz
    (1899-1984), French photographer, born in Brassó,
    Hungary (now Braşov, Romania), best known for his
    studies of Paris by night. His first photographs,
    published in book form in 1933, include scenes of
    Parisian streets, bridges, and tourists. He then turned to
    photographs of so-called night people—dancehall girls,
    drinkers, lovers, streetwalkers, hoodlums—whom he
    recorded with an impartial eye. He also wrote Henry
    Miller, grandeur nature (1975; translated as Henry
    Miller: The Paris Years, 1995), which he illustrated with
    his own photographs dating from 1930 to 1939.

    The difference is a
    poor photographer
    meets chance one
    out of a hundred
    times and a good
    photographer
    meets chance all
    the time.”
