Eugène Atget - The Making of a Reputation - Opening Night [$5]

"The International Center of Photography presents Eugène Atget: The Making of a Reputation, curated by ICP’s creative director David Campany.
...
Eugène Atget (1857-1927) was a French photographer best known for his photographs of Paris and its environs. He supplied studies for painters, architects, and stage designers, while also making formally complex pictures. Atget’s subjects included everything from grand buildings to typical street scenes, storefronts and workers. His photographs, often taken in the early hours, are notable for their diffuse light and wide views that give a sense of enigma and mystery. They also document Paris and its rapid changes; many of the areas Atget photographed were soon to be razed as part of widespread modernization projects." - ICP website
