Final Exam Study Slide - 6


Eugene Atget
Shop, Avenue des Gobelins
1925

Photographing early 20th century Paris, Atget made images of the early morning city streets, creating a haunting but beautiful record of the urban landscape. For most of his life Atget's work was unrecognized and he struggled financially. It was only after his death and with the help of photographer Bernice Abbot that his work became well known.
