Mullein in Bloom, c. 1897-1899. Creator: Eugene Atget (French, 1857-1927)
Mullein in Bloom, c. 1897-1899. Atget produced architectural details, views of historic Paris, landscapes, and botanical images for use by painters and illustrators. Despite being a product of the 19th century, he was greatly admired by the avant-garde photographers of the 1920s. Modernists esteemed the straightforwardness of his photographs, while the Surrealists found inspiration in their evocative power. An artist or illustrator using this image of a common plant used in herbal remedies would have ignored the landscape background. But the Surrealists would have appreciated the unexpected, unintended surrealism of its odd juxtaposition of sheet, plant, and landscape

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mullein in Bloom" is a masterpiece created by the talented French photographer Eugene Atget during the late 19th century. Atget was known for his diverse range of subjects, including architectural details, historic Paris views, landscapes, and botanical images that were often used by painters and illustrators. Despite belonging to an earlier era, Atget's work gained immense admiration from avant-garde photographers in the 1920s. Modernists praised his photographs for their straightforwardness and simplicity, while Surrealists found inspiration in their evocative power. In this particular image of a common plant used in herbal remedies, an artist or illustrator would typically disregard the landscape background. However, it is precisely this unexpected juxtaposition of sheet, plant, and landscape that would have appealed to the Surrealists. The unintentional surrealism captured within this photograph adds an intriguing layer of depth and mystery. The albumen print showcases Atget's exceptional skill in capturing delicate details with precision. This exquisite piece now resides at The Cleveland Museum of Art as part of its heritage collection. Heritage Art/Heritage Images presents us with yet another remarkable artwork that allows us to appreciate Eugene Atget's contribution to photography as well as his influence on various artistic movements throughout history.
