Hardcover. Condition: New. Atget's charming postcard portraits of Paris tradespeople were his only publications during his lifetimeFew places on Earth have been as lovingly, almost fanatically, documented as Paris. Despite extraordinary growth and change, the Paris of the world's imagination is still, to a remarkable degree, the… Paris of the turn of the 20th century--the Paris captured by Eugene Atget. The postcards in this book, which were more or less Atget's only publications during his lifetime, were created near the beginning of his career, long before he was 'discovered' in the 1920s and raised to the status of the poetic chronicler of the fragility of time and place. This postcard series is atypical of his later work and its exact origins remain something of a mystery. Its images, which depict Paris' 'little trades,' were meant to capture the ephemeral color of life. 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. This book presents the cards in sequence, along with an introduction that explains Atget's participation in his own period's photographic trends and his influence on later photography. With exquisitely reproduced images and elegantly translated captions, Atget: Postcards of a Lost Paris provides a peek at a disappearing way of life, and at Atget before he was Atget.

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Der Fotograf Eugène Atget, »der Pionier der Fotokunst« (FAZ), ist vor allem als Chronist eines romantischen, wenn auch verschwindenden Paris um die Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert bekannt. Dieses Buch präsentiert eine Reihe von Postkarten, die Menschen in einfachen Berufen in Paris zeigen und damit eine…andere Seite von Atgets Schaffen beleuchten. Die Postkarten, die mehr oder weniger die einzigen zu Lebzeiten von Atget veröffentlichten Werke sind, fangen den flüchtigen Charakter des Lebens in der Stadt ein und stehen in einer langen Tradition der Darstellung von Handwerkern, die ihre Waren anbieten. Der fotografierende Flaneur Atget zeigt auf seinen Bildern Marktstände und improvisierten Geschäfte, die Paris seinen besonderen Charme verleihen. (Text engl.) 136 pp. Englisch.
