Eugene Atget - Unknown Paris by David Harris

Eugene Atget - Unknown Paris by David Harris

This volume collects more than 200 Paris photographs by Eugene Atget, the much-beloved early master of the art. Based on a landmark exhibit at Paris' Musee Carnavalet, the text features unpublished photographs, displayed in a sequential fashion that shines light on Atget's working methods.

"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" — Berenice Abbott

"The earliest expression of true photographic art." —Ansel Adams

"Without Atget, nobody could really see Paris." —Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
