Über den Künstler :
Eugène
Atget
In spite of his fame, we don’t know much about Atget’s life. He began
photography in 1888 and, about 1890, began to make self-taught
photographic documents for artists. At first, he photographed landscapes
and vegetation. Then about 1897-1898, at the period when the Commission
of Old Paris was created, he took it upon himself to systematically
photograph the old areas of Paris earmarked for disappearance, as well
as the small trades, condemned by the advent of the big stores. At the
end of his life, he took photographs of parks and shop windows with
reflections which made him famous with the surrealist artists.
Berenice Abbott, ManRay’s assistant wrote about Atget:
« He will be remembered as a historian of urbanism, a true romantic, a
lover of Paris, a Balzac of the camera, who permits us to weave together
a picture of French civilization.»
