Paris: Eugene Atget and Christopher Rauschenberg
Available through 2011 · 250 linear ft. · 8 week booking slots
Paris is both a survey of the George Eastman House’s exemplary holdings of the work of Eugene Atget (French, 1857–1927) and a presentation of its contemporary interpretation by Portland, Oregon artist, Christopher Rauschenberg, son of artist Robert Rauschenberg. Atget, known for his encyclopedic and comprehensive document of the French capital in transition made at the turn of the last century is today considered one of the seminal photographic modernists. Rauschenberg’s project is both an homage to his predecessor and an artistic study of Paris in its own right. He does not attempt to replicate the exact angles and perspectives of the earlier photographs, but rather, evokes their aesthetic and emotional tone.
