Brassaï “Coeurs, Graffiti” Tapestry
The Modern Masters Tapestries Gallery proudly presents the exquisite “Coeurs, Graffiti” tapestry by Brassaï (pseudonym of Gyula Halasz).
In the 1950’s, street art was almost unheard of, but Brassaï’s tapestries featured abstract and geometric patterns, often inspired by the architecture and graffiti of the city. These tapestries were handwoven using traditional techniques, giving them a durable and timeless quality, and there were not many produced, making them extremely rare.
Brassaï’s tapestries are unique works of art that celebrate the beauty of Paris and the keen eye of this talented photographer. They have been exhibited in museums around the world, including the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. -
