Isabel Wachenheimer en Walter gezeten in een bos bij Krün, augustus 1936 1936 - 1938

This photograph, taken by an anonymous artist in August 1936, shows Isabel Wachenheimer and Walter sitting in a forest near Krün. It’s a humble image, almost a snapshot, but it captures something tender. The grayscale tones lend it a timeless quality. Look closely at the way the light filters through the trees, dappling the grass and the children's faces. It’s not about perfection, but about feeling. I mean, photography is all about capturing the light; sometimes it reveals more than we expect. The anonymity of the artist is interesting. It reminds me of folk art, where the maker is less important than the making. This image, like a lot of photography, serves as a reminder that art is always in conversation with life, echoing and refracting our experiences. It’s a process of exchange, a way of seeing and being seen, where meaning is always fluid and open to interpretation.
