Bill Brandt (1903-1983) was an English, German-born photographer who first gained recognition as a photojournalist in the 1930s and 1940s, capturing images of all levels of British society for magazines like Lilliput, Picture Post, and Harper’s Bazaar. During the 1930s he published his important early monographs The English at Home (1932) and A Night in London (1932). After turning his focus to nude
photography for over a decade, he published his milestone photo book Perspective of Nudes (1961). In 1969 he was the subject of a major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which traveled internationally. His work is held in major museums and private collections around the world.
