BRAY-DUNES NORD.
41x291/4 inches. Grau - Nerfi, Lille.
Condition A.
Named after one of its local benefactors (Alphonse Bray) and its most significant natural feature (dunes) this resort is France's northernmost and is located just a few miles away from Dunkirk, the site of the great British evacuation in 1940. Here, at dusk, in a simple yet compelling image in which the typography is playfully incorporated into the image, the sun is casting long shadows on the large beach, the ocean and the town itself.
