Description: "This volume presents the essence of the work of the French photographer, Eugene Atget, in one hundred carefully selected photographs. John Szarkowski, an acknowledged master of the art of looking at photographs, explores in this book the unique sensibilities that made Atget one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century and an influence on the development of modern and contemporary photography.

Szarkowski's introductory text and commentaries form an extended essay on the remarkable visual intelligence displayed in these subtle, sometimes enigmatic pictures."--BOOK JACKET.
