Gideon Elon met een roos in zijn revers lachend in gesprek met een onbekende man, tijdens een receptie gedurende de KLM-tijd van Isabel Wachenheimer 1956 - 1973

This photograph captures Gideon Elon, sporting a rose on his lapel, in lively conversation with a man at a reception during Isabel Wachenheimer's time with KLM. I love how the unknown artist framed the shot, focusing on the interaction between the two men, but including the party atmosphere. You know, the clinking glasses, the half-empty bottles...it's all there! You can see how the artist's eye moves around the scene, capturing the mood of the moment, the gesture of a hand, or the tilt of a head. Think about what it must have been like to be a photographer back then—the focus, the development, and the printing. Each decision contributes to a visual language, creating something both specific and ambiguous. Just like a painting, really. It reminds me that artists are always in conversation with one another across time, building on the ideas that came before.
