Kiki et ses amies (Thérèze Treize et Lily) 1932

"Kiki et ses amies (Thérèze Treize et Lily)," a 1932 photograph by Hungarian-French photographer Brassaï (Gyula Halász), captures a candid moment of three women and two dogs relaxing on a couch. The composition highlights the intimate atmosphere, with the figures intertwined and the patterned fabric of the sofa creating a visual contrast. Brassaï, known for his street photography and depictions of Parisian nightlife, skillfully captured the everyday life of the city's residents in this poignant and realistic snapshot. The photograph is an example of Brassaï's signature style, characterized by its sharp focus, high-contrast lighting, and ability to convey a sense of both intimacy and anonymity.
