Gezicht op Olliergues aan La Dore 1904

This small gelatin silver print captures a scene of Olliergues along La Dore by Delizy, though when exactly, we can't be sure. It feels like a moment captured in time. The sepia tones lend it a sense of nostalgia. I imagine the photographer, Delizy, setting up their camera, carefully composing the shot. What were they thinking as they framed this view? Perhaps they were drawn to the way the town nestled into the landscape, the buildings cascading down to the river's edge. The light is soft, diffused, giving the scene a gentle, almost dreamlike quality. There's a stillness to the image, a sense of quiet contemplation. The buildings stand in ordered contrast with the natural forms of the landscape. Delizy's work reminds us that photography can be a form of embodied expression, capturing not just what is seen, but also what is felt. Artists are always in conversation with one another, across time, inspiring each other's creativity.
