Troubled by a thousand suggestions, the Paris of the 1930s attracted artists from all over the world who saw in that city a privileged place to express themselves and which themselves, with their presence, contributed to making it so. Among the many foreigners who went there, some were Hungarians, such as Gyula Halasz Brassai, who immediately stood out for his ability to capture everyday Parisian life with a direct but also poetic style, as demonstrated by these images capable of moving from portraits to intimacy, even revealing the interior of Picasso's atelier that he frequented.
