Drie gezichten op Oost-Vlieland 1931 - 1935

“Drie gezichten op Oost-Vlieland,” or "Three Views of Oost-Vlieland," is a collection of photographs by Berti Hoppe. These images offer a glimpse into the cultural and environmental understanding of landscape as experienced by the photographer. The black and white medium has a historical context, as photography, especially in the early to mid-20th century, was less accessible to women. Landscape photography, often seen as objective, can reveal subjective human experiences and interactions with nature. Each photograph captures Oost-Vlieland from varying perspectives: "Teich auf Vlieland" (Pond on Vlieland), "Ankunft in Ost-Vlieland" (Arrival in East Vlieland), and "Letzter Blick auf Oost-Vlieland" (Last View of East Vlieland). The titles, handwritten beneath each image, add an emotional layer, turning these views into deeply personal encounters. These photographs not only portray the landscape but also evoke themes of travel, memory, and the personal connections between the artist and the environment. They capture moments of arrival, observation, and departure, reflecting a layered human experience.
