Parade Reflection's, USA, circa 1960 - Lot 148

Parade Reflection's, USA, circa 1960 Vintage silver print mounted on cardboard Annotations on back Dimensions: 50.8 x 40 cm Note: An American photograph produced around 1960, Parade Reflections offers a singular look at a parade scene, captured through the reflection of a helmet, integrating photographer and crowd in a single composition. Through this interplay of mirrors and points of view, the image is part of a modern, reflexive approach to street and reportage photography, characteristic of the 1950s-1960s. This vintage silver print, mounted on cardboard with handwritten annotations on the reverse, is a powerful visual document, both aesthetic and documentary. A sought-after work for the quality of its composition, its introspective character and its roots in the history of mid-20ᵉ century American photography. Note: In the reflection of the fireman's helmet, we see the photographer focusing his Rolleiflex camera.
