George Brassai
Information about artist: Brassai was a Hungarian photographer and filmmaker who rose to international fame in France in the 20th century. He was one of the numerous Hungarian artists who flourished in Paris beginning between the World Wars.
This is the first image by George Brassai that stood out to me. It stood out to me because of the what I presume is water (to the left of the image), it makes it look like the road is falling away. The contrast in this image really shows how bumpy the road is, it also shows how wet it is. The artist has made sure the shadows are well represented. This photo has been taken at night, the way the light has cast on the paving suggests there is a street lamp. This image shows repetition of the bricks. The light is coming from the back of the image making the back bright which whites out the detail whereas the front has lots of detail because the light is hitting the bricks lightly.
I like this because it the lights are mirrored in the water.
I like this because of the line of trees along with the row of lamp posts.
More artist research coming up!
