Well, the person in the picture is Eugène Atget, he is a great photographer but he never was appreciate like an artist. That picture was taken by Berenice Abbot and she rescued the work of Atget. When Atget die Abbot bought almost all this negative and she made a gallery only with the art of Atget.
I don't know when the picture was taken, I only know that Abbot worked with Ray Man -another great photographer- and he also saw in the picture of Atget real art, the thing is that Abbot knew Atget while she worked with Ray Man.
I like the art of all those photographer but I especially like Atget because he was a strong influence in the picture of Abbot and Ray Man, and Atget never saw himself like an artist, he lived in a
humble way his life consist in walked all Paris on foot to take pictures. He could captured Paris and his people in a way that no one else could see.
I didn't know about him, I think I'll search about his work and photos now :)
ResponderEliminarVery interesting artist, I neither knew anything about him. I did know a bit about Man Ray.
ResponderEliminarYour text is very good, it has a good cohesion and it is coherent, very few grammar mistakes sucha as "he never was appreciate like an artist." = He was never appreciated as an artist. The mistakes, though, do not affect overall cherence.
It is however, important to highlight that you may work out on some of the redundancies by the rephrasing of the reduntant element.
