A great interpreter of the city of Paris, Brassaï (the pseudonym was a tribute to his hometown Braçov in Hungary) documented the city by day and especially by night in the style known as photographie humaniste. He thus became part of the city's intellectual world, becoming friends with Picasso, Kertész, Doisneau, Prévert and Henry Miller, who called him the eye of Paris.
