EDITORS COMMENTS
Mannequin, 1926-27, (1956) is a striking black and white gelatin silver print photograph by the renowned French photographer Eugène Atget. Captured in the 1920s but not printed until the 1950s, this image showcases a mannequin displaying an elegant blouse and trousers in a shop window. The mannequin, dressed in white and black, exudes an air of timeless sophistication, its lifeless form a contrast to the vibrant texture and intricate detail of the clothing. Atget's photograph is a testament to the heritage of fashion and the art of display. The mannequin, with its glassy eyes and expressionless face, gazes out from the depths of the display case, inviting viewers to imagine themselves in the clothing it wears. The image, with its simple yet powerful composition, speaks to the enduring allure of fashion and the role it plays in shaping our cultural identity. This photograph, a product of the 20th century and specifically the 1920s and 1950s, is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage photography or fashion history. The image is reminiscent of the European aesthetic of the time, with its focus on clean lines, monochromatic color palette, and attention to detail. The mannequin's attire, with its high waistline and loose-fitting trousers, is a nod to the fashion trends of the era. Mannequin, 1926-27, (1956) is a treasured piece of art and heritage, currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The photograph, with its silver-gold toned print, is a testament to Atget's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. Whether viewed as a work of art or a historical document, this photograph continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and enduring relevance.
