The unique urban portrait of Eugène Atget
A flâneur and photographer, Eugène Atget (1857–1927) was obsessed with wandering the city. After trying his hand at painting and acting, he turned to photography and moved to Paris from his hometown of Libourne. He created studios for painters, architects, and set designers, but was captivated by what he called “documents” of the city and its surroundings. In his scenes, which rarely included people, he displayed a predilection for the architecture, landscapes, and artifacts that shape the social and cultural landscape.
Atget was not particularly well-known during his lifetime, but during the 1920s, thanks to Man Ray, he attracted the attention of the Dada and Surrealist avant-garde. Four of his images, with their distinctive fusion of mimesis and mystery, appeared in the surrealist magazine La Révolution Surréaliste, while Ray and other members of his artistic circle purchased his photographs. His fame grew after his death, when several articles and a monograph by Berenice Abbott were dedicated to him. Photographers such as Walker Evans and Bill Brandt have since acknowledged their debt to Atget.
This new TASCHEN publication brings together around 500 photographs from Atget's archives in homage to his formidable talent for photographing cityscapes and evoking a Paris that had vanished. Traveling through avenues and alleys, stopping at churches and shops, through courtyards and arcades spread across the 20 arrondissements of Paris, we discover a unique portrait of the city and the birth of a master of modern photography.
