Vijf foto's van landhuis De Wilde Zwanen in Laren 1939 - 1940

Here we have Norbert van den Berg's photo album page featuring his photos of country house, De Wilde Zwanen, in Laren. Looking at these five black and white gelatin silver prints mounted in a photo album, I wonder about what he wanted to say about this house. Van den Berg seems to be interested in how the house sits within its environment. It’s as if he’s thinking about the house in relation to the seasons. He’s thinking about what the snow looks like. We can see that he’s dated most of the images to 1940, but one goes back to 1939. Maybe he was thinking about time, too. I feel like artists are always in an ongoing conversation, exchanging ideas and inspiring each other’s creativity across time. It's kind of lovely.
