Untitled (Collaborators, St. Tropez, France) 1944

Constance Stuart Larrabee's 1944 photograph, "Untitled (Collaborators, St. Tropez, France)," captures a poignant moment of the aftermath of World War II. The image depicts three women with their heads shaved and hands covering their faces, standing before armed soldiers. This powerful black and white image serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of collaboration during wartime, prompting reflection on the complexities of morality and the enduring effects of conflict. The intimate scale of the image, measuring only 2 1/8 x 2 inches, enhances its impact, drawing the viewer into the raw emotion of the scene.
