About the Item
This black-and-white photograph captures a lively street scene in the Santa Lucia neighborhood of Naples, Italy, in 1954. Two street musicians perform against the worn, textured wall of a building; one plays a trumpet, and the other holds a banjo. A large drum is placed on the ground in front of them, adding a rhythmic element to the ensemble. Several children, dressed in traditional clothes, stand nearby, attentively watching the musicians. The expressions of the performers and the bystanders reflect a genuine engagement with the music, highlighting the vibrant street culture of mid-20th-century Naples. The photo conveys a sense of authenticity and community typical of street performances in this historic area.
Erich Andres was born in Germany in 1905 and passed away in 1992. He began his career as a photographer in 1920 and was one of the first to use a Leica camera. Today, his work is exhibited in several museums, including the Civil War Museum in Salamanca, Spain, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the Industrial Museum in Oberhausen, Germany. In 1951, Andres contributed to Edward Steichen's iconic exhibition "The Family of Man" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The print is new, a Fine Art Print on high quality paper (Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta) printed by Whitewall. It comes to you in a tube to keep shipping costs as low as possible.
