In the blooming of post-war Paris, finding its feet after conflict, occupation and hardship philosophy and culture blossomed. Into this world stepped Hungarian photographer Paul Almasy. Taking his camera onto the streets he captured the vibrancy and work-a-day of this European hub synonymous with romance, intrigue and life itself. The pavements proved a great place to capture small pieces of lives that grew into an evocative picture of the fifties and sixties.
This recently published book of photographs from the era underline Almasy's important place among the chroniclers of this great city. Although not the first to present a pictorial record of Paris these pictures are evocative and meaningful.
Published by teNues Media ( https://books-teneues.com/ ) I paid £12.50 for a hardback version on Amazon, although I note that following other recent reviews the price has almost doubled today so look around.
