Book excerpt: On August 3, 1927, the day before his death, Eugène Atget struggled to the balcony of his sixth-floor apartment at 17 bis Rue Campagne Premier, Montparnasse, looked down at Paris and shouted, “I’m dying!” A fitting gesture for an ex-actor; an unintentionally comic one for an unrecognized genius; a tardy self-dramatization for a recluse in a city of flamboyant artists — but a tragic farewell to the Paris he loved and photographed for 29 years.Product InformationWith the marvelous lens of dream and surprise, Atget “saw” (that is to say, photographed) practically everything about him, in and outside of Paris, with the vision of a poet. Atget’s photographs are unparalleled in their lucid realism and lyrical response to the pulse of the city and to the artifacts of human life in almost every social class. His images of parks, lakes, shop windows, vendors, prostitutes, buildings, sculpture and Paris street scenes go beyond documentation to a poetic vision of an era. Atget created some of the most beautifully articulated images of light and space ever made with a camera. ***** Thanks for visiting, and have a beautiful day! b-6
