About the Item

A man and a woman sit on a rocky cliff on the island of Delos, Greece, in the 1950s, gazing out over the serene bay. The black and white photograph captures a peaceful moment, with the vast expanse of the sea and the distant coastline creating a tranquil backdrop. Delos, steeped in ancient history, provides a timeless setting for this contemplative scene, where the simplicity of the moment reflects the natural beauty and quietude of the island. The couple's quiet presence amidst the rugged landscape evokes a deep connection to both each other and the stunning environment around them The street is muddy and appears to have been recently rained on, creating a somber atmosphere. To the left, there is a restaurant with a sign reading "Jeanne d'Arc," and in the background, you can see a few other pedestrians going about their day, despite the gloomy and difficult times of war. The mist adds to the melancholy, evoking a sense of life continuing under the shadow of the ongoing conflict. Andres was born 1905 in Germany and passed away 1992. He started his career as a photographer in 1920. He was one of the first photographers, who used a Leica. His images today are displayed in several museums, for example in the Civil War Museum in Salamanca, Spain, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, the Industrial Museum in Oberhausen, Germany. Andres was a contributor for Edward Steichens Exhibition "The family of man" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1951. All works of Andres offered here on 1stdibs are originals, printed and annotated by the photographer himself.

He continued full time with his long and lucrative career as a writer of more than 36 creative and analytical works.
