EDITORS COMMENTS
Masque Antique, 1923 (1956) is a captivating photograph by the renowned French photographer Eugène Atget. This gelatin silver print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), transports us back in time to the 1920s and 1950s in France. The image features a close-up of an antique mask, its open mouth revealing intricate details and a hint of surprise. The mask, adorned with intricate patterns and a headdress, seems to tell a story of a bygone era. The use of contrasting white and black tones adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing the mask's intricacies. Atget, known for his documentation of Parisian life and heritage, captured this object with a sense of reverence and appreciation for the past. The mask, with its open mouth, suggests the idea of music, singing, or perhaps even a surprise or a moment of shock. The image invites us to contemplate the rich cultural heritage of France and the role of masks in music, theater, and rituals. This photograph, now over a century old, continues to intrigue and inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and the mysteries it holds. Masque Antique, 1923 (1956) is a testament to Atget's mastery of photography and his ability to capture the essence of objects and moments in time.
