The work is dynamic and intense; he often used wide-angle lenses and distorted his images. Renowned for his abstract studies of nudes, Brandt also produced a collection of portraits of some of the most celebrated artists and writers of the 20th Century, including Pablo Picasso, Dylan Thomas, Rene Magritte, and Francis Bacon. The personal life of the man behind the lens, however, was mysterious and enigmatic. Brandt was honored internationally for his accomplishments until his death in 1983. Major collections of his prints currently hang in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, New York’s MoMA and Paris’ Bibliotheque Nationale.
