Heads up for anyone visiting Sydney from 24 August:
http://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/eugene-atget/
From the AGNSW newsletter:
Lose yourself in the beauty of Old Paris with over 200 rare and original prints from the founder of documentary photography.
For the first time in Australia, see the work of influential French photographer Eugène Atget (1857–1927). In a period of rapid modernisation, he captured images of Old Paris – the streets, buildings, shops, gardens and people – which revealed a city remote from the clichés of the Belle Époque.
Rarely permitted to travel, the works come from the Musée Carnavalet, Paris, and will be shown alongside a selection of prints compiled by American artist Man Ray from the George Eastman House in Rochester.
