Paris Changing: Revisiting Eugene Atget's Paris

by: Christopher Rauschenberg
Last summer I saw the Atget exhibit at the Bibliotheque Nationale, which was a marvelous passage through a lost time. This book matches some of those absorbing old photos with photos of the same location taken today. I think it's a fascinating book and I can lose myself in the nuances while comparing the photos. This pasttime may not be to everyone's taste, but I highly recommend the book to thoughtful people who enjoy looking at things.

Eugene Atget (Aperture Masters of Photography)

The Aperture Masters series of books are unbelievably good value. They have been recommended to me by several photography instructors as a way of introduction to the `greats' and big ideas of photography. They are small enough to carry around and contemplate at leisure. The limited number of images is also conducive to study.

Atget's images are impressive, varied, often thoughtful or clever, and sometimes stunningly beautiful, especially considering the limitations of the plates of the time.

Atget

by: John Szarkowski
Eugene Atget is known to everyone, perhaps not by name in all instances, but at least by the images of Paris and environs that grace all manner of books, essays, brochures, museums, art collections, and postcards throughout the world. At the time of his death in 1927 his enormous output of images was archived and has subsequently been studied, purchased and shared with exhibitions too numerous to mention. Yet in this fine book the essence of Atget the observer is appreciated as well as any publication of the many about the pioneering photographer, a man who served as an important bridge from studio formality of the art to entering the human realm of images of people on the streets of Paris and the surrounding areas.

Five Great Street Photographers: Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Eugene Atget, Jacob Riis, Lisette Model, Ed Van Der Elsken (Phaidon 55's)

Each of these five books is taken from "Phaidon's 55's" series, which represents photographers in 55 key photographs taken from their life's work, giving a chronological overview of the main themes and ideas behind their photography. Now, this series is available in boxed sets and with five titles available for the price of three. These five photographers are all infamous for their captivating images of the streets.
