内容説明
Roaming Paris streets by night in the early 1930s, Brassa created arresting images of the city's dramatic nocturnal landscape. First published in French in 1932, this new edition brings one of Brassa's finest works back into print. The back alleys, metro stations, and bistros he photographed are at turns hauntingly empty or peopled by prostitutes, laborers, thugs, and lovers. "Paris by Night" is a stunning portrait of nighttime in the City of Light, as captured by its most articulate observer. 62 photos.
Book Description
Roaming Paris streets by night in the early 1930s, Brassa created arresting images of the city's dramatic nocturnal landscape. The back alleys, metro stations, and bistros he photographed are at turns hauntingly empty or peopled by prostitutes, laborers, thugs, and lovers. Paris by Night, first published in French in 1932, collected sixty of these images, which have since become photographic icons. This new edition brings one of Brassa's finest works back into print. Beautifully presented, Paris by Night is a stunning portrait of nighttime in the City of Light, as captured by its most articulate observer.

1930年代のパリの夜の様子を撮った写真集。木も街並みも、ビストロ、エッフェル塔、凱旋門、駅もパリの独特な雰囲気が漂っています。以前にBrassaiの"Paris de Nuit"という古い古い写真集（絶版）をみて感動してから、ぜひ手に入れたいとずいぶん探しました。この本では、その古い写真集でみた写真を再び見ることができますが、ちょっと雰囲気は違ってます。それは写真集に使用されている紙の質にあるかと思います。それから、夜の写真なので暗い雰囲気をさらに出そうとしたためか、縁（写真の周り）もすべて黒く、全体的にただ暗い感じです。（それは個人の好みかもしれません。）写真の裏には何かミステリアスな物語が隠れているような気もします。Brassaiの撮ったパリの夜のシーンは最高です！

Printing process
2003/12/18
形式:ハードカバー
This book was conceived and executed around a specific printing process, heliogravure. The original 1933 edition, if you could find it, which would be quite a feat, would look very much like the Pantheon edition published about a decade ago, and have many of the features of the current edition that some reviewers find objectionable: matte paper, black borders, strange tonality when compared to traditionally printed work. That's why the Pantheon edition, which some of the leading figures in modern printing and photography worked on, was such a landmark, and why the cheaply printed editions between the original and that one were junk -- and gave people a very serious misapprehension of how Brassai wanted his work to look.
Unfortunately, an attempt to reproduce the characteristic look of heliogravure using a more conventional printing process is a pretty tall order. If you don't like the way this edition looks, and you very well may not, see if you can find a library that has a copy of the Pantheon edition and compare them. You'll be amazed that the aspects of this edition's printing that you found objectionable actually make _that_ edition beautiful and unique.
It is a shame that Amazon does not even list the Pantheon edition so that it cannot be searched for as a used book -- and that the current publisher deceptively printed an edition that looks superficially like heliogravure but is not.

Quality Issues? Let's be clear.
2001/9/20
形式:ハードカバー
It is possible that the latest edition has failed to explain why the format for the images is appropriate. I have the 1987 Pantheon edition. The new edition looks like a fairly exact copy of my 1987 copy by Pantheon. That book takes as its model the 1933 first edition. The images are matte because the original and the Pantheon are heliogravure prints, a matte process. (It is also likely that Brassai's original prints lack the hi-gloss sheen common to modern magazine printing and plastic-coated photographic paper. I have nothing but pity for those who cannot appreciate such a process and yearn for something like today's glossy magazines.) The quarter-inch gloss frame arond the images is a feature of the Panthon edition, as well (and the '33?). This new book looks (on superficial viewing) like a faithful effort on the part of the publisher. Now- someone offer an A to B comparrison, please.

Reproduction quality is an insult to Brassai
2001/12/16
形式:ハードカバー
One only has to compare the nicely reproduced dust jacket photo to the print of it in the book to see the amount of detail that is lost in the rest of these images. Even the thumbails in the back next to the writeups show more detail than the muddied out larger vesions in the book. Brassai's images are so great that even muddied up like this they are worth looking at, but what a shame the publisher didn't do better. Shame, shame, shame.
