Download or read book Atget written by John Szarkowski and published by The Museum of Modern Art. This book was released on 2003 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the essence of the work of the great French photographer Eugène Atget through one hundred carefully selected photographs. Atget devoted more than thirty years of his life to the task of documenting the city of Paris and the surrounding countryside, and in the process created an oeuvre that brilliantly explains the great richness, complexity, and authentic character of his native culture. John Szarkowski, an acknowledged master of the art of looking at photographs, explores the unique sensibilities that made Atget one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century and a vital influence on the development of modern and contemporary photography. The eloquent introductory text and commentaries on Atget’s photographs form an extended essay on the remarkable visual intelligence displayed in these subtle, sometimes enigmatic pictures.
Book Synopsis Paris Changing by : Christopher Rauschenberg
Download or read book Paris Changing written by Christopher Rauschenberg and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2007-10-04 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1888 and 1927 Eugne Atget meticulously photographed Paris and its environs, capturing in thousands of photographs the city's parks, streets, and buildings as well as its diverse inhabitants. His images preserved the vanishing architecture of the ancien rgime as Paris grew into a modern capital and established Atget as one of the twentieth century's greatest and most revered photographers. Christopher Rauschenberg spent a year in the late '90s revisiting and rephotographing many of Atget's same locations. Paris Changing features seventy-four pairs of images beautifully reproduced in duotone. By meticulously replicating the emotional as well as aesthetic qualities of Atget's images, Rauschenberg vividly captures both the changes the city has undergone and its enduring beauty. His work is both an homage to his predecessor and an artistic study of Paris in its own right. Each site is indicated on a map of the city, inviting readers to follow in the steps of Atget and Rauschenberg themselves. Essays by Clark Worswick and Alison Nordstrom give insight into Atget's life and situate Rauschenberg's work in the context of other rephotography projects. The book concludes with an epilogue by Rosamond Bernier as well as a portfolioof other images of contemporary Paris by Rauschenberg. If a trip to the city of lights is not in your immediate future, this luscious portrait of Paris then and now is definitely the next best thing.

Book Synopsis Old Paris and Changing New York by : Kevin D. Moore
Download or read book Old Paris and Changing New York written by Kevin D. Moore and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insightful new look at two renowned photographers, their interconnected legacies, and the vital documents of urban transformation that they created In this comprehensive study, Kevin Moore examines the relationship between Eugène Atget (1857-1927) and Berenice Abbott (1898-1991) and the nuances of their individual photographic projects. Abbott and Atget met in Man Ray's Paris studio in the early 1920s. Atget, then in his sixties, was obsessively recording the streets, gardens, and courtyards of the 19th-century city--old Paris--as modernization transformed it. Abbott acquired much of Atget's work after his death and was a tireless advocate for its value. She later relocated to New York and emulated Atget in her systematic documentation of that city, culminating in the publication of the project Changing New York. This engaging publication discusses how, during the 1930s and 1940s, Abbott paid further tribute to Atget by publishing and exhibiting his work and by printing hundreds of images from his negatives, using the gelatin silver process. Through Abbott's efforts, Atget became known to an audience of photographers and writers who found diverse inspiration in his photographs. Abbott herself is remembered as one of the most independent, determined, and respected photographers of the 20th century.

Download or read book Atget written by Benjamin Weiss and published by Museum of Fine Arts Boston. This book was released on 2017 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photographer Eug�ne Atget is best known as a chronicler of a romantic, if disappearing, Paris around the turn of the 20th century. This book presents a series of postcards depicting Paris's petits m�tiers, or little trades, exploring another side to Atget's oeuvre. More or less Atget's only published works during his lifetime, the postcards capture the ephemeral nature of life in the city and are part of a long tradition of depicting skilled tradespeople plying their wares. In them, Atget presents the market stands, the odd jobs, the cobbled together shops, and the informal entertainment that gave Paris its piquancy and eternally renewing liveliness.

Book excerpt: This catalog features Walker Evans in light of the larger theme of vernacular style, a style of photography--and paintings are included here too--that is descriptive in its intent, what Galassi calls "plainspoken" in his preface. The catalog (it's slightly oversize at 10x11.5") includes over 300 images in this style, from Evans and his contemporaries, including Edward Weston, Paul Strand, and Berenice Abbott, to works from the 1980s and 1990s by David Goldblatt, Lee Friedlander, and Thomas Struth, among others. MOMA's curator of photography, Peter Galassi, provides a lengthy introduction on Evans, his influences, and the artistic style he created. There is no index. c. Book News Inc.

Book Synopsis Atget's Seven Albums by : Molly Nesbit
Download or read book Atget's Seven Albums written by Molly Nesbit and published by . This book was released on 1994-08-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1909 and 1915 Eugène Atget produced seven albums filled with photographs of Paris at the height of its belle époque. This book presents Atget's albums in full for the first time, edited with the sequencing and repetition that the great photographer intended. In addition, Atget's pictures are analyzed in an altogether new way; as commercial picture documents produced by a photographer for the artists, archivists, antiquarians, designers, and builders who were his clients. Atget's Seven Albums is thus many books-a critical edition, a fresh view of Atget's work, a new kind of history of photography, and a social history of art and of Paris in the early twentieth century.
