Enzo Sellerio: Palermo, 1960

Eugène Atget was born in Libourne, France in 1857. His father died in 1862 and his mother shortly later. He went to live with his maternal grandparents in Bordeaux where he received his primary schooling. Atget worked as a sailor, actor, and painter before turning to photography at the age of 41. He was completely self-taught and made a meager living by selling photographs to architects, painters, stage designers and editors. He would photograph subjects that he thought would be the most useful for his clientele such as parks, streets, architectural details, vendors, farms and monuments. Atget photographed Paris with a large-format wooden bellows camera with a rapid rectilinear lens. The images were exposed and developed as 18x24cm glass dry plates. In all, Atget created about 10,000 photographs of Paris and its surroundings. He received only one commission in his lifetime and that was to document the brothels of Paris. In 1926 Man Ray submitted a few of Atget's photographs to the periodical La Révolution Surréaliste, but they were not credited. He was a bit of an eccentric; from the age of 50, he lived solely on milk, bread, and pieces of sugar Although today he is thought of as one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century, it was not until after his death in 1927 that his work became appreciated and this was due in large part to the efforts of photographer Berenice Abbott who helped to promote and preserve his work. Bernice Abbott said of Atget “He will be remembered as an urbanist historian, a genuine romanticist, a lover of Paris, a Balzac of the camera, from whose work we can weave a large tapestry of French civilization” Today his work can be found in collections such as The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. The Atget Crater on Mercury is named after him. (Via Lee Gallery and other sources) After graduating College (creative photography) I went to Paris. In preparation I read A Moveable Feast by Hemingway and Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell and studied the works of Brassaï and Atget. I tried to imagine seeing Paris through their eyes. Needless to say I loved Paris. It had a profound effect on me. Enjoy the images by Atget!

Eugène Atget was a French photographer noted for his photographs documenting the architecture and street scenes of Paris. An inspiration for the surrealists and other artists, his work gained wide attention only after his death. He picked up photography in the late 1880s, around the time that photography was experiencing unprecedented expansion in both commercial and amateur fields. He would go on to enter the commercial field with his photos; he sold photos of landscapes, flowers, and other pleasantries to other artists. It wasn’t until 1897 that he started a project he would continue for the rest of his life-his Old Paris collection. He photographed Paris with a large-format wooden bellows camera with a rapid rectilinear lens. The images were exposed and developed as 18x24cm glass dry plates. Between 1897 and 1927 he captured the old Paris in his pictures. His photographs show the city in its various facets: narrow lanes and courtyards in the historic city center with its old buildings, of which some were soon to be demolished, magnificent palaces from the period before the French Revolution, bridges and quays on the banks of the Seine, and shops with their window displays. He photographed stairwells and architectural details on the façades and took pictures of the interiors of apartments. His interest also extended to the environs of Paris. In addition to architecture and the urban environment, he also photographed street-hawkers, small tradesmen, rag collectors and prostitutes, as well as fairs and popular amusements in the various districts. The outlying districts and peripheral areas, in which the poor and homeless sought shelter, also furnished him with pictorial subjects.

Ancien couvent – Avenue de l’Observatoire ATGET, (1857-1927), fotógrafo francés conocido por sus fotografías documentales sobre el París de finales del XIX y principios del siglo XX. Desde la década de 1880 hasta su muerte, documentó las calles y el pueblo de París de una manera sistemática, utilizando placas de gelatina de plata que requían un largo tiempo de exposición. Estaba particularmente interesado en los escaparates de las tiendas pequeñas y las pequeñas empresas que estaban desapareciendo. En un momento en el que muchos fotógrafos trataban de alcanzar a la pintura y el dibujo con el uso de la falta de definición, Atget realizó imágenes detalladas, cuidando el encuadre y la luz. Realizó decenas de miles de fotografías que vendió a los propietarios de tiendas o artistas por un módico precio, vivió humildemente y que fue ya después de su muerte cuando su gran obra fue descubierta y apreciada.
