At once a cosmopolitan metropolis, venue for a pensive stroll, and emblem of the modern, Paris has been a source of inspiration for countless artists and writers down through the ages. But not least it is the home and constant muse of a relatively young art: photography. Since the earliest days of the daguerreotype right up to our time, renowned photographers such as Joseph Nicéphore Niepce, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Doisneau, and Jeanloup Sieff have lived and worked in the city of lights. Over the years a love affair developed between Paris and photography, giving rise to a remarkable record of the metropolis and a telling history of a new art form. This volume takes the reader on numerous walks, camera in hand, through the streets of Paris. Atmospheric black-and-white photos, shot by great photographers over two centuries, reveal the dramatic and the tranquil, the historic and the everyday in the capital's parks and gardens, boulevards and backstreets, passages and arcades, bistros and nightclubs.

Happy International Women’s Day.
This year I'm giving Berenice Abbott the shout out. I was lucky enough to discover her when I was quite young and she’s always been a favorite of mine. I went down the Abbott rabbit hole again last month and I still hold her in the highest regard, more so now than ever.
She was born in Ohio in the late 1890s, went to college there for two semesters, dropped out and moved to Paris by herself. She became a darkroom assistant to Man Ray and then began doing portraits of the artists around the 1920s Parisian art scene and became well known for doing so. She then met the already aging brilliant street photographer Eugene Atget, who had photographed a post-Haussmann Paris in beautiful de-populated dreamscapes in the years around the turn of the century. Abbott photographed him, and after his death in 1927 acquired his prints and negatives and spent the rest of her life tirelessly promoting him. In fact, were it not for Abbott we likely would have never heard of Atget at all. Â
Abbott visited New York City in 1929, mainly to find a publisher for Atget’s work, but found the city inspiring and, much like Atget’s Paris from years earlier, in a state of flux. She decided to stay and then set about documenting the birth of the modern metropolis with her camera, which eventually became her 1937 book “Changing New York”.  She also became an important link between her old Paris artist friends and the new ones in NYC.
She went on to get Guggenheim grants, Federal Art Project grants and taught at the New School of Social Research. She traveled around the US doing more documentary projects, was concerned with urban planning, vocally critical of America’s “paleotechnic era” and shot a series of scientific photographs for physics schoolbooks via a relationship with MIT.Â
These are only the highlights. She touched the photography world not just with her photography but also her influence in teaching, and just figuring out the biz... the art world biz, the business of things, how to do it all and keep it together. The biography on her by Julia Van Haaften is very well worth checking out and she has been and remains a big influence on me...

Per celebrare il centenario della nascita di Carlo Mollino (al quale nel 2006 sono state dedicate quattro importanti mostre a Torino e Roma), una delle personalità più geniali e singolari e uno degli artisti più completi del XX secolo, la casa editrice AdArte presenta la riedizione di un libro di grandissimo interesse per gli appassionati di fotografia, Il messaggio dalla camera oscura, edito nel 1949 e ormai introvabile, l'unico, e assai colto, testo in cui Mollino esprime le sue posizioni sulla fotografia: attraverso 323 opere di 132 fotografi (da Avedon, Brassaï e Blumenfeld a Moholy-Nagy, lo stesso Mollino, Eugene Smith, Stieglitz e Steichen) e di 9 grandi pittori (da Ingres a Picasso), l'autore traccia una storia della fotografia e dell'evoluzione del gusto nel tempo, evidenziando con specifici capitoli il lavoro di alcuni fotografi (Nadar e Hill, Atget, Alvarez Bravo e Man Ray) e realizzando così un suo personale «Musée imaginaire» della fotografia.
Altrettante pagine Mollino dedica alla spiegazione del «messaggio» d'arte che il fotografo offre al suo pubblico con la realizzazione della copia fotografica che nella «camera oscura» viene stampata, ritoccata, ritagliata, portata con ogni mezzo – per l'autore tutti legittimi – a coincidere con il preciso desiderio espressivo dell'artista. Per sublimare l'immagine e farne un proprio messaggio è necessario, secondo Mollino, saper distinguere tra «bello» e arte, essere autori di «trasfigurazioni soggettive», conoscere e dominare la tecnica fotografica a cui egli introduce con una decina di capitoli del suo libro.
Si tratta, oltre che del più importante contributo della prima metà del Novecento all'accettazione della fotografia tra le arti «maggiori» (riconoscimento tutt'altro che scontato in un'epoca in cui la fotografia era considerata opera meccanica e illimitatamente riproducibile), di un testo fondamentale per la storia della fotografia in generale e in particolare per la comprensione del percorso di Mollino.
Il libro viene ora riproposto nell'edizione di pregio, disegnata dallo stesso Mollino, che conta 448 pagine, realizzata in elegante veste grafica ed in grande formato (con le tavole a colori applicate a mano su cartoncini).Â
