Rue St. Rustique, March 1922, Printed 1956
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by the renowned French photographer Eugène Atget. This gelatin silver print, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), transports us back in time to the 18th arrondissement of Paris during the 1920s. The image captures the atmospheric allure of an unnamed Parisian alleyway, Rue St. Rustique, located in the Montmartre district. The cobblestone street, bathed in the soft glow of twilight, is framed by the dark, looming buildings on either side. The shadows cast by the architecture create a sense of depth and mystery, while the contrast between the darkness and the white and black tones of the buildings adds an ethereal quality to the scene. The photograph was taken in March 1922, but it was not until 1956 that it was printed, showcasing Atget's dedication to documenting the architectural heritage of Paris. The image is reminiscent of a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia for a time when life moved at a slower pace. The urban landscape, with its cobbled streets and old buildings, stands in stark contrast to the modernity of the 1950s, making this photograph a valuable historical record. Atget's mastery of photography is evident in the way he captures the mood and essence of the scene. The photograph is not only a visual representation of a Parisian alleyway but also a conceptual exploration of the passage of time and the changing nature of urban spaces. "Rue St. Rustique, March 1922, Printed 1956" is a testament to Atget's artistic vision and his commitment to preserving the architectural heritage of Paris for future generations.
