| Atget photographed by Bernice Abbott in 1927 |
This retrospective, which includes well-known images and others, unpublished and less known, portrays an atypical view of Paris, far from the clichés of the Belle Epoque. Visitors will discover the streets of Paris of yesteryear, the gardens, the Seine, the old shops and small business vendors.
There is also is a room presenting a set of 43 prints by the photographer, collected in the 1920s by American artist Man Ray, this album, now in Rochester, opens an understanding on Atget's influence on the Surrealists.
Accompanying the exhibition is a 346 page catalogue published by Editions Gallimard.

In a way, for an art-lover like myself, decorating our home is quite easy. I just please myself mostly, with my poor husband going along with most of my choices. I am always collecting beautiful things, like handicraft decorative pieces, little sculptures and hangings.
And I simply hang lovely paintings in all our rooms. Not all are originals of course, as who can afford many of those.
I order many prints on canvas from wahooart.com who have a vast collection of images from Western art, that you can choose to make economically-priced prints like this Interior in Aubergines, by Henri Matisse, http://en.wahooart.com/A55A04/w.nsf/Opra/BRUE-5ZKCMX, from there.
I can choose the frames as well and my orders are delivered quickly to my home.
