The Friday Evening Nudes

The Nudes of Brassai
(click on the link for a short biography)

Brassai (link to works on Artlex) (pseudonym of Gyula Halász) (9 September 1899 – 8 July 1984) the Hungarian photographer, sculptor, and filmmaker who rose to fame in France.




I'm mad in love with this photographer; both nudes and night-time street scenes, which I hope to feature in a future post. But if I don't get around to it, check out his work on the net.

I keep telling myself that I couldn't possibly have walked by one of paintings in some museum and kept walking; yet I don't recall ever having seen one in person.

Happy Friday and a great weekend to you all.
Love,
Pagan Sphinx

"When the Amherst sphinx styled herself a pagan, she meant she didn’t believe in the biblical God. What sort of deity, if any, she did believe in is hard to pinpoint."
