Overview of Eugene Atget's life

Eugene Atget (Eugè ne at Get1857-1927) is a French photographer. Born in Ribbon, he was raised by his uncle after his parents died. From 65438 to 0879, he entered the National Academy of Dramatic Arts in Paris, and then played a small role in the touring troupe. Since then, his acting career has not developed greatly. I didn't take up photography until I was 40. He makes a living by selling photos to artists such as designers and painters, and regards his own photos as the basic elements of creation. However, it was not until Ajet's later years that his works attracted the attention of the world. 1927, Ajette died, and his works were collected and promoted by American photographer Berenice Abbott, which attracted social attention and was recognized and appreciated by many people. His works were included in the exhibition of modernist works, and his first photo collection was published in 193 1. His photos of Paris and its suburbs are clear, focused and unadorned, which have both documentary effect and artistic value. Some photos reflect his exquisite composition and attention to detail, such as Avenue des Gobelins, Bords de la Marne and Marchand abatjours.
