Selected Images by Eugene Atget

Eugene Atget: St. Cloud (Stairway and Vase) 1922, Vintage arrowroot print, 7 x 9-3/16 in. (178 x 234 mm), unmounted., Ex-MoMA, deaccessioned in the mid 1970's. "compared to the more objective, declarative explanatory character of his earlier work, Atget's postwar pictures are overtly subjective, idiosyncratic, lyrical, and suggestive. They are less concerned with facts than with life." Maria Morris Hambourg, Volume II: The Art of Old Paris, page 30. w1575.
