About the Item

Original high-quality heliogravure by Brassaï (1899–1984), one of the most influential photographers of 20th-century Paris. This photograph was published in the very first issue of Verve, the visionary art and literature magazine founded by Tériade, known for featuring the greatest artists and thinkers of the time. Captured in the 1930s, the image offers a rare and poetic glimpse into the quiet life of an anonymous countryside artist. Framed by a rustic stone wall and leafy vines, we see a figure silhouetted in a doorway—contemplative, paused mid-gesture. Another stands behind a large canvas, absorbed in the act of creation. The surrounding garden tools and calm atmosphere reflect Brassaï’s talent for observing intimacy and light with cinematic depth. This is a tribute not just to photography, but to the creative process itself. This is an original heliogravure printed in Paris in 1937, not a reproduction, and it preserves the exceptional tonal richness of the photogravure technique. Framed with care in a handcrafted, black-lacquered wooden frame. The frame shown is a digital mock-up; final framing will be executed upon purchase to ensure a tailored finish. Mat proportions may vary slightly to best suit the composition. Technique: Heliogravure Published in Verve, Volume I, Number 1 Printed in Paris, 1937 Excellent vintage condition Dimensions: 3.5 (d) × 36 (w) × 43 (h) cm The piece is sold framed. High-quality conservation framing with acid-free materials is included. Please note that this is a digital mock-up — final proportions and matting may vary slightly depending on the final assembly. Own a piece of photographic history with this original heliogravure by Brassaï, taken from the legendary first edition of Verve (1937). The image transports the viewer to a rural artist’s studio, capturing a timeless and introspective moment suspended in light and shadow. This museum-quality print is more than an artwork — it’s a portal into the spirit of creative solitude and quiet beauty. Ideal for collectors of vintage photography and fine art lovers seeking meaningful, narrative-rich pieces.
