Editor's Notes
- #3: He developed a strong fascination with painting early on, and particularly with Surrealism. 2) In 1932, after spending a year in the Ivory Coast, he discovered the Leica - his camera of choice thereafter - and began a life-long passion for photography.
- #4: In this photo I can see.. Man (what he wear: coat, pants, shoes, hat, umbrella ) In the foregroung..in the left and right part… there are many trees which form a 2 lines... General: the picture was taken in a city + date… If you look carefuly you can see that all the lines end to an imaginary point.. It seems that the photographer wants to express a mysterious and melancholic paysage.
- #5: In this one it seems that there are two imaginaries points where the lines end. On the background there is a railroad. On the right there are two men who seems that they waiting the train and in the left part there are a lot of materials and I imagine that the train transport them… colours + General
- #6: It’s an imagine of a roundabout of Madrid. In the background there is a enormous white building with some black windows.. On the right and left bottom parts there are some childrens and it seems that they play together… general
