[title not known] c. 1933 - 1938

Editor: This untitled photograph by Lionel Wendt, taken sometime before 1944, presents a still lake reflecting a dramatic sky. It feels so serene, almost haunting. What strikes you most about this image? Curator: It’s a dance of duality, isn’t it? Wendt captures stillness and movement, life and death. I see a meditation on impermanence. Editor: Impermanence? How so? Curator: The dead tree, a stark silhouette, mirrors the fleeting clouds. It's as if Wendt is asking us to consider our own brief moment reflected in the vastness of nature. What do you think? Editor: That’s beautifully put! It makes me see the photo in a whole new light, the reflections adding another layer to that feeling. Curator: Exactly! Wendt invites us to contemplate the transient beauty of existence.
