Blacet's career.

In the history of photography, Blacet is one of the few masters who established an unshakable position in the early 1930s and have been active in the film industry for more than 60 years. Born on the ninth day of September, the last year of the19th century (1899), Blacet is full of youthful blood and arrogance whenever answering other people's interviews. I think the number "nine" in the date of birth has something to do with his life experience.

Brasett has always been secretive about his real name. He once said: "renaming a name can make a person escape from a monotonous formal identity, just like the shackles of people." If you get rid of it, artists can live and create again. " Brasett was born in Blaso, and "Blacet" means "people from Blaso".

During his first six years in Paris, Blacet made a living by writing articles for some German photography magazines. In order to match the pictures in the article, he often asked some photographers to run a theme together, and finally he simply took photos himself.

"1924 When I came to Paris, I lived a nocturnal life for a while; Work at sunrise and rest at sunset. In those two thousand and one wild nights, I traveled to every corner of Paris. I was shocked by the sight of the city that never sleeps. I want to record it in some way. Finally, a woman lent me an amateur camera, and I used it to take pictures of these scenes that have been entangled in my heart for a long time. "

1932, Blacet's first photo collection "Night in Paris" was published. Blacet is very inclusive of the lens of Paris: from the night watchman who lights the gas street lamp to all kinds of people who breathe in the dark: drunkards lying on the street, homeless tramps, prostitutes soliciting in the street, bitterness in the background of circuses and song and dance troupes, naked women waiting in line for clients in brothels, balls of drug addicts and homosexuals, another face of the upper class of the lower class and so on. It is for this reason that this photo album shocked all France. Blacet's Night Paris series technically broke through the limits of photography at that time. At that time, the aperture of the camera lens and the sensitivity of the negative film could not allow professional photographers to capture the dynamic images under the night light, and it has always been a mystery where Blacet, who had never been in contact with the camera, learned the negative film enhancement and development skills.

Blacet, who made friends with the Paris art circle at that time, also left portraits of artists at the peak of their creation, such as Picasso, Dali and Matisse, which were collected and published in the1980s. As a master photographer, Blacet's view of photography has also attracted many controversies. "I never thought photography was an art." He expressed this attitude in an article "Potential Images" in 1932, which aroused unanimous criticism from photographers. He said: "In art, photography is an intruder and an inconsistent symbol that disturbs the harmony of other arts"; "Photography is too precise, too dependent on reality, lacking imagination, lacking invention and spiritual characteristics. All these shortcomings are actually some of its characteristics-it is' non-art' or even' anti-art'. This trait is actually the place where photography should be cultivated and should not be attributed to art. "Blacet's view of photography is the best footnote of his work, and the people, things and things he shoots rarely involve emotion.
