Description
RENÉ BURRI (1933–2014) | Frankfurt am Main, 1959 | Gelatin silver print, printed in the 1970s on single-weight glossy Agfa paper, in perfect condition 24,3 x 16,9 cm Photographer’s agency stamp, handwritten negative no. “59-14-9/12A” and “Allemagne, 1959” as well as various notes in pencil on reverse LITERATURE Rene Burri, Die Deutschen. Photographien 1957-1964, München: Schirmer/Mosel 1986, Tafel 30; René Burri, Die Deutschen. Photographien 1957-1997, München/Paris/London 1999, pl. 18 (same series) In the book editions of “The Germans”, a very similar motif was included in portrait format, also with the juxtaposition of VW Volkswagen and Mercedes Benz (cropped in the foreground), but there a passer-by crosses the street. The present, thus calmer, shot is captivating because of its more austere composition. In die Buchausgaben von »Die Deutschen« wurde ein sehr ähnliches Motiv im Hochformat aufgenommen, ebenfalls mit der Gegenüberstellung von VW Volkswagen und Mercedes Benz (angeschnitten im Vordergrund), aber ergänzt um eine Passantin beim Überqueren der Straße. Die vorliegende, somit ruhigere, Aufnahme besticht durch die strengere Komposition.
