Brassaï “Don Quichotte” Tapestry
The Modern Masters Tapestries Gallery proudly presents the exquisite “Coeurs, Graffiti” tapestry by Brassaï (pseudonym of Gyula Halasz).

Brassaï, best known for his iconic photographs of Paris, ventured into a surprising artistic medium in the 1950s: tapestry. At a time when street art was a rarity, Brassaï’s tapestries incorporated abstract and geometric forms inspired by the city’s architecture and graffiti. Woven using traditional techniques, these limited-edition works possess a timeless quality and enduring strength.

Celebrating the beauty of Paris through a fresh perspective, Brassaï’s tapestries have earned a place in prestigious museums like the Musée National d’Art Moderne and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
