Brassai (1899-1984)
La Manucure

Gelatin Silver Print
c.1931

Literature:
"La Toilette", Labyrinthe, number 19, 1946, p.1

Exhibition History:
Brassai: The Eye of Paris, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1999, and two other venues.

In The Manucure Brassai produces an image that lends itself easily to a surrealist context. Depicting an observed scene, Brassai draws out its surreal presence, elaborating on this through his choice of title, which lends the pruning of the tree a more whimsical touch.
