An insightful new look at two renowned photographers, their
interconnected legacies, and the vital documents of urban
transformation that they created In this comprehensive study, Kevin
Moore examines the relationship between Eugene Atget (1857-1927)
and Berenice Abbott (1898-1991) and the nuances of their individual
photographic projects. Abbott and Atget met in Man Ray's Paris
studio in the early 1920s. Atget, then in his sixties, was
obsessively recording the streets, gardens, and courtyards of the
19th-century city-old Paris-as modernization transformed it. Abbott
acquired much of Atget's work after his death and was a tireless
advocate for its value. She later relocated to New York and
emulated Atget in her systematic documentation of that city,
culminating in the publication of the project Changing New York.
This engaging publication discusses how, during the 1930s and
1940s, Abbott paid further tribute to Atget by publishing and
exhibiting his work and by printing hundreds of images from his
negatives, using the gelatin silver process. Through Abbott's
efforts, Atget became known to an audience of photographers and
writers who found diverse inspiration in his photographs. Abbott
herself is remembered as one of the most independent, determined,
and respected photographers of the 20th century. Published in
