Eugene
Atget (Taschen's Photobooks)
~Andreas Krase, Hans Christian Adam (Editor)
In this day and age we have pretty much taken photography for granted
as an integral part of everyday life. There is the immediacy of Polaroids
and the limitlessness of disposable cameras, which makes a picture taken
today a distant cousin to the practice of early photography. Occasionally
we need reminding of the roots of photographic image making: the glass
plates, hand-coated emulsion and massive amounts of other accoutrements
that were needed to make one image. In Atget, a selection from the lifetime
work of legendary French photographer Eugene Atget (1857-1927), we enter
the world of early 20th-century photography, which was beginning to bid
farewell to the hand-crafted picture.
Atget was poised on the cusp between the techniques and materials of
early photography and the moment things began to change and modern photography
was born. From a laborious and time-consuming process came a much faster
method that changed the nature of photography forever. Seemingly overnight
the photograph went from something precious to something on its way to
being accessible to all. Atget was among the first generation to photographically
capture the world of ordinary citizens. While the subject matter was new,
Atget was nevertheless steeped in the tradition of the old-world photograph.
A crooked doorknocker is captured with loving attention to detail, an air
of preciousness still present. Spindly trees, store windows, public gardens...
each picture is delicate and romantic. It makes you wonder if absolutely
everything was more beautiful in France. Included are insightful commentaries
for each of the 100 tritone photographs and five duotones, plus a really
great introduction by John Szarkowski, former Director of the Department
of Photography at the MOMA. --J.P. Cohen Amazon UK
