Loentje en Frank Furnée met vrienden in de Rivièra 1930

This is Carolina Onnen’s photo album page showing Loentje and Frank Furnée with friends in the Rivièra. The photos are these little windows, right? Each one showing us a different way to look at what happened. I always feel a little pang when I see an image like this. It's like the artist is trying to freeze a moment, to catch something that's already gone. What was she thinking when she snapped these pictures? Were they laughing? Joking? I love how some are close-ups, and others take in the whole sweep of the Riviera. There’s a casualness to it, like snapshots from a vacation. And that border of the page? It's like the edge of a thought, holding all these memories together. For me, art is always about trying to hold onto something, even as it slips away. It is a timeless language that speaks across generations, reminding us that we’re all just trying to make sense of the world, one snapshot at a time.
