Findings (4): Bill Brandt, East End Girl Dancing the Lambeth Walk – Front page of the week!
“Nur ein Jahr, nur ein Tag, ein Augenblick. Aber seit dem Foto von Bill Brandt nicht mehr aufzuheben. Es könnte verloren gehen, zerstört werden wie Länder, Städte, Menschen und bliebe doch: in seiner Bewegung, seinem Licht, seiner Flüchtigkeit.” Ilse Aichinger
Bill Brandt (1904-1983); East End Girl Dancing the Lambeth Walk (1939); gelatin silver photograph; image 21.2 h x 17.4 w cm.
