  Cette photo a beaucoup inspiré les surréalistes : ils y voyaient les prémices des mannequins mystérieux de Giorgio de Chirico. Pour plus d'infos, cf. : Guillaume Le Gall, « Atget, figure réfléchie du surréalisme », Études photographiques, 7 | Mai 2000, [lire en ligne]

  I am about to have an exhibition of paintings and photographs at the Musee de l'Eventail at 2 bvd Strasbourg, opening on 14 May until August 1, so I find it especially apt to see that Atget produced some of his most familiar pictures in this boulevard. Today someone asked me why I was having an exhibition in Paris. What a strange enquiry! Furthermore, my stepfather, Eric Thake with whom I spent a good deal of my childhood and adolescence was one of the most distinguished surrealist painters and woodcut artists in Australia in the second half of the twentieth century.
