There is no woman who does not dream of being dressed in Paris.




Paris, je t'aime.

Through May 9, the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City is running two exhibitions based on Parisian photography - Twilight Visions: Surrealism, Photography and Paris and Atget, Archivist of Paris.

The former focuses on the fantastical, avant-garde works of Surrealist artists in the 1920s and 30s, especially as photography was just beginning to gain in popularity. Through these photographers' vivid imaginations, the "modern urban life" of Paris is presented. The latter collection is a collection of 26 of Atget's vintage photographs of Paris' "dreamlike urban spaces" in the late 19th century and early 20th century.
