EUGÈNE ATGET. Versailles

EUGÈNE ATGET. Versailles. Artist: Eugène Atget (French, Libourne 1857-1927 Paris). Dimensions: Image: 17.5 x 21.9 cm (6 7/8 x 8 5/8 in.) Sheet: 18 × 21.9 cm (7 1/16 × 8 5/8 in.) Mat: 16 × 20 in. (40.6 × 50.8 cm). Date: 1924-25. From 1898 until his death in 1927, Atget exhaustively documented the remains of Old Paris: the city's streets, monuments, interiors, and environs. Among the last entries in this self-directed preservationist effort was a series of images of landscapes and sculpture in the parks of Saint-Cloud and Versailles. Here, the photographer records a statue of a sleeping Ariadne, the mythical Cretan princess abandoned by her lover Theseus on the island of Naxos. Atget's simultaneously realistic and otherworldly photographs inspired the Surrealist artist Man Ray, who reproduced four of them in a 1926 issue of the journal La Révolution Surréaliste, thus presenting the elder photographer as a modernist forerunner.
