Gyula Halasz
Open Gutter
Gyula Halasz was born in 1899 in Transylvania. His family moved to Paris, France when he was three and resided there for a year. As a young man, Halasz studied painting and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest. Then he joined the cavalry in an Austro-Hungarian army and remained there until the end of the first World War. In 1924, Halasz moved to Paris to remain for the remainder of his life. In '33, he published his first book of photography, Paris de nuit (Paris at Night). It was a great success, leading him to photograph more of Paris, and the higher-class residents living there. He released a film in 1956, and it won 'Most Original Film' for 1976. He published many more books, and when Gyula retired from photography, he spent his time on sculpture. Finally, on July 8th, 1984, he died of old age in Paris, France.
