Brassaï's 'L'œil de Paris' Opens at Hangar Y with 100 Never-Before-Seen Prints

From October 17, 2026, until February 21, 2027, "L'œil de Paris," an exhibition honoring Brassaï, will be held at Hangar Y in Meudon. This showcase includes 100 prints from the collection of his wife, Gilberte, highlighting the nightlife of Paris, featuring elements like bals musette and graffiti. Brassaï, originally named Gyula Halász, was born in 1899 in Brassó, Transylvania, and relocated to Paris in 1924, where he shifted from journalism to photography. He became a pioneer of night photography around 1930 and released "Paris de nuit" in late 1932, earning the title "l'œil de Paris" from Henry Miller. The exhibition venue is situated at 9 av. de Trivaux, 92190 Meudon, accessible via RER C Meudon Val Fleury, with opening hours on weekends, holidays, and daily during school holidays (zone C) from 11am to 7pm. Admission costs €10, with a reduced price of €8.
