Breda 1940 - 1943

This is a photo album page called Breda by an anonymous artist. It’s a whole world captured in these little black and white photographs pasted onto a dark page. I wonder about this anonymous artist. What were they thinking when they were making this? Were they aware of the stories they were creating, or were they just collecting moments? Did they have any formal training? What was their daily life like? What else did they make? The contrast between the monochrome photographs and the deep, almost chocolatey page feels so considered and personal. There’s a dialogue happening here, a conversation across time, reminding me that every artwork is part of a larger exchange of ideas. It’s like we’re all just riffing off each other, inspiring each other’s creativity, even across generations. It makes you wonder about the stories these images hold and how different people might interpret them.
