Atget the Pioneer

Through intelligent sequencing and several insightful essays, this gorgeous volume goes to great and convincing lengths to outline Atget's influence on numerous photographers that came after him. To this end, work is included by Berenice Abbott, the Bechers, Walker Evans, and August Sander to name but a few. Highly recommended for the student or serious collector interested in Atget's role within the wider context of photographic history.
