Brassai

Brassai (pseudonym of Gyula Halasz; 9 September 1899 – 8 July 1984) was a Hungarian photographer, sculptor, writer, 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. In the early 21st century, the discovery of more than 200 letters and hundreds of drawings and other items from the period 1940–1984 has provided scholars with material for understanding his later life and career.






This picture is of a bridge across a lake. You can see the lights on the bridge and the bridge reflecting onto the lake as its nigh time. There is a sidewalk on the lower left side of the picture that is blacked out you can see a tree branch coming through from the side of the picture. It looks foggy towards the back of the picture. The focal point of this picture is the couple walking down the path holding a torch. I think this picture was taken in the 1970's.
In my opinion the picture has a creepy feel to it. It looks like the couple are trying to find something or someone.





This picture is of a couple walking down a road on what looks like a foggy night. One of the people are holding a light. There is a car that looks like it is parked in the middle of the road and on some of the path and left there. There are houses on the left side of the photo and to the back of the photo there's loads of light where as the front of the photo is dark. The picture is black and white. The focal point of this picture would be the bridge as the lights catch your eye. This photo looks like it was taken in 1980's.

In my opinion I like the reflection of the bridge and the lights on the bridge on the water.






This picture is of an old man who is holding a long stick it looks like he is changing a street light at night. You can see more street lights in the background and buildings but the buildings are all blacked out you cant make out if there houses or not. The focal point of the picture would be the man changing the light at the front of the photo. The picture looks like it was taken ages ago maybe in the 1940's.

In my opinion I like the photo I like the lights going down the street and all in the background.
