Eugène Atget, Eclipse

From the Blanton Museum’s Art at Home newsletter:

French artist Eugène Atget (1857-1927) focused his lens on the city and people of Paris for nearly four decades, producing more than 8,500 pictures throughout his career. In his photograph Eclipse, a crowd is gathered in Paris’ Place de la Bastille to observe the 1912 solar eclipse. Rather than recording the astronomical event itself, Atget turned his attention to its spectators. Fun fact: Surrealist artist Man Ray bought Atget’s photograph to illustrate the June 1926 cover of La Révolution Surréaliste—a subversive publication that adopted a pseudo-scientific format to explore the irrational nature of existence

Girls just wanna be the namesake founder of an artistic movement

I was just in Mexico and saw an exhibit of art by Leonora Carrington, one of my favorite Surrealists. Andrew asked how an English artist ended up in Mexico, and I think you all need to know: the normal way. Her boyfriend Max Ernst had to flee Europe to escape the Gestapo and she had a nervous breakdown over it and was committed to an asylum where she was subjected to electroshock therapy and then her family sent her to another asylum in South Africa but she escaped in Portugal and took sanctuary at the Mexican embassy and fortunately she knew one of the Mexican diplomats because he was also a poet who was pals with Picasso and they entered a marriage of convenience so she'd have diplomatic immunity and went down to Mexico with other intellectuals who were fleeing fascism. Just the normal everyday way most people get to Mexico.
