About the Item
Original heliogravure by Brassaï, published in the landmark first edition of Verve (Vol. I No. 1, December 1937), Éditions Verve, Paris. This evocative photograph captures a classical headless statue enveloped in ivy—an image rich in poetic decay and timeless surrealism.
Brassaï’s fascination with the hidden, the nocturnal, and the forgotten corners of Paris finds an echo in this silent composition, where nature and artifice collide. The texture, tone, and clarity of this heliogravure are exceptional—reflecting the high standard of Verve, printed at Mourlot Frères and curated by the visionary editor Tériade.
This is an original plate from the 1937 first edition, a cornerstone of modern publishing that brought together the greatest artists and photographers of the 20th century.
The work is framed in matte black lacquered wood with museum-quality materials. Frame shown is an example only—final custom framing will be done upon order.
