Isabel Wachenheimer, Erica en Hansl in de tuin van de woning van Willy Moos in Hamburg, Bellevue 62, in maart-april 1935 Possibly 1935

This found photograph captures Erica and Hansl in the garden of Willy Moos’s home in Hamburg, sometime in March or April of 1935. There's a wonderful dynamism in this image. The kids are caught in a chase, each figure stretched out in a gesture of playful pursuit. I can almost feel the cool air of early spring and hear the sounds of their laughter carried on the breeze. I wonder, what was the photographer thinking, what kind of camera did they have, and how did they compose the image? There’s an art to capturing such a candid moment, to freezing motion in a way that still conveys energy and life. This image reminds me of other snapshots of the time, other artists who embraced chance and spontaneity in their work. It’s a reminder that art isn’t just about intention; it’s also about being open to the unexpected, to capturing the world as it unfolds around us.
