EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Nenuphars" or Water Lilies, by Eugène Atget dates back to the late 1890s, with a later printing in the 1950s. The image captures the serene beauty of a French lily pond, filled with vibrant white water lilies and their green leaves. The reflection of the lily pads and surrounding foliage on the tranquil water surface adds an extra layer of depth and intrigue to the scene. Eugène Atget, a French photographer known for his extensive documentation of Parisian streets and landscapes, captured this botanical beauty with remarkable precision and detail. The gelatin silver print, with its white and black tones, showcases the timeless allure of nature, transporting us back to a simpler era. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of 19th-century and 20th-century photography, as well as the enduring appeal of the natural world. The image is a treasure in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate viewers. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the role that art and photography play in documenting and celebrating the beauty of our planet. The image invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature, such as the gentle dance of water lilies on a still pond.
