EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print, titled "Organ Player" captures a moment frozen in time during the late 19th century. The photograph, taken by renowned French photographer Eugene Atget, showcases an organ player on the streets of Paris. Standing near a window adorned with shutters, this talented musician exudes joy and happiness as she plays her instrument. The female organ player is depicted with a beaming smile and outstretched arm, fully immersed in her musical performance. Her presence adds life to the otherwise still street scene captured in black and white. A child can be seen nearby, captivated by the music filling the air. Atget's keen eye for detail is evident in this composition; he skillfully frames the organ player against the backdrop of architectural elements that define Parisian streets. The intricate details of buildings and roads add depth to this timeless image. Through his lens, Atget not only captures a fleeting moment but also preserves a slice of history. This gelatin silver print from c. 1898-99 now resides in the Corcoran Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to turn-of-the-century Paris - where music filled the airwaves and brought smiles to faces young and old alike.
