尤金·阿杰，漫游者，摄影师。尝试过做画家和演员，但都不太顺利。后前往巴黎成为摄影师，为画家、建筑师和舞台美术设计师提供资料，热衷拍摄他所谓城市及其周边地区的“记录”。

阿杰生前不大受重视，但在20年代通过曼·雷得到了达达和超现实主义群体的关注，并在贝伦尼斯·阿博特的积极推动下声名鹊起。一些后世的杰出摄影师，如沃克·埃文斯、比尔·布兰特，都承认曾受到他的影响。

此书汇集约500幅来自阿杰档案的照片，带读者借一位现代摄影大师的慧眼探访从前的巴黎。

A flaneur and photographer at once, Eugène Atget (1857–1927) was obsessed with walking the streets. After trying his hand at painting and acting, the native of Libourne turned to photography and moved to Paris. He supplied studies for painters, architects, and stage designers, but became enraptured by what he called “documents” of the city and its environs. His scenes rarely included people, but rather the architecture, landscape, and artifacts that made up the societal and cultural stage.

Atget was not particularly renowned during his lifetime but in the 1920s came to the attention of the Dada and Surrealist avant-garde through Man Ray. Four of his images, with their particular fusion of mimesis and mystery, appeared in the surrealist journal, La Révolution Surréaliste, while Ray and much of his artistic circle purchased Atget prints. Atget’s fame grew after his death, with several articles and a monograph by Berenice Abbott. Several leading photographers, including Walker Evans and Bill Brandt, have since acknowledged their debt to Atget.

This fresh TASCHEN edition gathers some 500 photographs from the Atget archives at Musée Carnavalet and the Bibliothèque Historique de la Ville de Paris to celebrate his outstanding eye for the urban environment and evocation of a Paris gone by. Down main streets and side streets, past shops and churches, through courtyards and arcades and the 20 arrondissements, we find a unique portrait of a beloved city and the making of a modern photographic master.
