Foam is proud to present the first retrospective of Brassaï in the Netherlands
Foam is proud to present the first retrospective of #brassai in the Netherlands. The French photographer of Hungarian descent is considered a key figure of 20th-century photography.
13 September - 4 December
Brassaï (1899- 1984) created countless iconic images of 1930s Parisian life. He was famous for capturing the grittier aspects of the city, but also documented high society, including the ballet, opera, and intellectuals - among them his friends and contemporaries like Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Henri Matisse. The exhibition at Foam traces his career with over 170 vintage prints, plus a selection of drawings, a sculpture and documentary material.
Brassaï gathers many of the artistic facets of the photographer, from photos to drawings of female nudes. It is organized in twelve thematic sections: Paris by Day, and by Night, Minotaure, Graffiti, Society, Places and Things, Personages, Sleep, Pleasures, Body of a Woman, Portraits – Artists, Writers, Friends and The Street. Each is very different from the next – reflecting the diversity of Brassaï’s photographic work.
Visit and revisit #brassai, other exhibitions and events as a Foam Member.
Brassaï is organised by Fundación MAPFRE in collaboration with Foam.
Foam is supported by the BankGiro Loterij, De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek, City of #amsterdam, Foam Members, Olympus and the VandenEnde Foundation.
