This is "Vrienden van Loentje Onnen in de winter op de Bergweg in Hilversum," a photo album page made by Carolina (Loentje) Frederika Onnen. It's all about the snapshot here. These aren’t your perfectly posed portraits, these are folks caught in the act of being themselves, friends hanging out. I love how Loentje frames these moments. It's a scrapbook of warmth in the winter, rendered in sepia. The texture is all in the paper, this dense grey card, which is the ground for these small, pale images. Take the photo on the right; you can almost feel the sting of the snow in the air! It's raw and unfiltered, like a memory fading at the edges. It reminds me that art isn't just about the grand gesture; it’s about the small, everyday moments. The arrangement on the page reminds me of Gerhard Richter's "Atlas," where images collide to form a new kind of meaning. Art’s like that; it's a conversation, a remix of ideas across time.
