Opening Reception: The Secret Paris of the 1930s

Join us for an opening reception for The Secret Paris of the 1930s: Vintage Photographs by Brassaï. Early 20th-century Paris was the setting for one of the greatest flowerings of creative expression in the visual arts. As with painting and sculpture, ambitious young photographers from around the world flocked to between-the-wars Paris. Among them was the Transylvanian-born Brassaï, whose evocative, inky-black, and rare vintage photographs of night-time Paris are assembled from a private collection into this unforgettable exhibition. Refreshments and piano music by Michael Frentzen ’28.

Exhibition organized by art2art Circulating Exhibitions.
