They are part of the captivating and comprehensive Brassai show at SFMOMA.  Brassai (born Gyyla Halasz in Hungary) is one of the most prominent figures of twentieth century photography, best known for his provocative and enigmatic images of Parisian life between the two world wars and for powerful portraits of his avante-garde friends -Picasso, Matisse, Henry Miller and Salvador Dali among them.
