Eugene Atget

Eugene Atget was a French documentary photographer, born on the 12th of February, 1857 in Libourne, France and died on the 4th of August, 1927 in Paris, France. Atget is known for his determination to document all of the architecture and street scenes of Paris before their disappearance to modernisation. “An inspiration for the surrealists and other artists, his genius was only recognised by a handful of young artists in the last two years of his life, and he did not live to see the wide acclaim his work would eventually receive”. Atget practiced photography in the late 1880s which was around the time that photography was experiencing unprecedented expansion in both commercial and amateur fields.
