Atget

SZARKOWSKI, John

Regular price $125.00 Sale

Eugène Atget (1857 – 1927) was a French pioneer of documentary photography, noted for his determination to document all of the architecture and street scenes of Paris before their disappearance due to modernization. An inspiration for the surrealists and other artists, his genius was only recognized by a handful of young artists in the last two years of his life, and he did not live to see the wide acclaim his work would eventually receive. To view these photographs is to enter the old Paris.
