Gezicht op Vannes 1901

This is Delizy’s photo, Gezicht op Vannes, though we don't know exactly when it was made. The sepia tones give it a timeless, kind of dreamlike quality. Delizy here is all about the process, not just the result. Look at the way the light filters through the leaves, softening the edges of the architecture. It’s as if the city itself is breathing, constantly shifting with the changing light and shadows. The sepia tones wash over everything, creating a sense of unity and harmony. In the top left corner, notice how the leaves frame the composition, inviting you into the scene. Delizy is inviting us to contemplate the beauty of the everyday and the transience of time. This reminds me of Atget. The way he was able to turn the streets of Paris into something so evocative and timeless. Art, after all, is an ongoing conversation, a way of seeing and experiencing the world that is always evolving.
