Eugène Atget was an early French photographer who captured images of the rapidly disappearing elements of Paris during the waning 19th century. His straight forward yet wistful style served as an inspiration for generations of photographers, including the Surrealist Man Ray and the American Berenice Abbott. “For more than 20 years by my own work and personal initiative I have gathered from all the old streets of Vieux Paris the old hôtels, historic or curious houses, beautiful facades, beautiful doors, beautiful woodwork, door knockers, old fountains,” he once said. “This vast artistic and documentary collection is today complete. I can truthfully say that I possess all of Vieux Paris.” Born on February 12, 1857 in Libourne, France, Atget was orphaned when he was five years old and was primarily raised by his grandparents. He studied briefly at the Dramatic Arts Conservatory in Paris, and worked as an itinerant actor in the city before beginning his career as a commercial photographer. Atget’s clients were primarily painters and sculptors for whom he produced images of architectural details, doorways, and antiques. During his career, he seldom photographed people and instead roamed abandoned gardens or empty courtyards for his subject matter. Atget died on August 4, 1927 in Paris, France. Today, his photographs are held in the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, among others.

Eugène Atget
Eugene Atget (1857- 1927) took up photography in the late 1880s, turning his camera on Paris in 1898. He captured Parisian streetscapes, shop fronts, and architectural details in a straight, documentary style, in contrast to the Pictorialist trend at the time. Atget made beautiful and sensitive documents and by the early 1920s, up until his death, Atget's works became increasingly expressive, metaphorical, and were championed by the Surrealists for their poetic and haunting mood. Thanks to the support of American photographer Berenice Abbott (1898- 1991), French photographer Eugene Atget became recognized as one of the great early modern photographers. He recorded Old Paris and Atget’s lifespan corresponded with urban planner Haussmann and his famous transformation of Paris into a modern city. Atget documented Paris painstakingly on meanderings throughout the City of Light into the 20th Century. Berenice Abbott is famous for her black-and-white photographs of New York City. She also created a large body of portraits that she made in Paris. Abbott found inspiration in the Parisian streetscapes of Eugene Atget, an influence that would carry over into her work and the series “Changing New York” (1935-38). A major body of Abbott’s work was made during the Works Progress Administration/Federal Art Project."
