EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lilies" by Eugene Atget showcases the talent and artistic vision of the renowned French photographer. Born in 1857, Atget dedicated his life to capturing the essence of Paris through his lens, and this particular image is a testament to his mastery. Taken between 1916 and 1919, during a period when France was ravaged by World War I, "Lilies" offers a serene escape from the chaos of the time. The delicate white lilies stand tall against a dark background, their petals seemingly illuminated by an unseen light source. Atget's use of albumen silver print technique adds depth and richness to every detail, allowing viewers to appreciate each intricate fold and curve. The composition exudes tranquility and elegance as it invites us into a world where beauty flourishes amidst adversity. It reminds us that even in times of turmoil, nature continues its cycle with grace and resilience. As we gaze upon this timeless piece from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to early 20th-century Paris. We can almost feel ourselves strolling through its enchanting streets alongside Atget himself, witnessing firsthand his dedication to preserving moments of quiet beauty for generations to come. "Lilies" serves as both a visual delight and an homage to one man's passion for capturing fleeting moments that would otherwise be lost forever. It stands as a reminder that art has the power not only to inspire but also to transcend time itself.
