Untitled (baby fawns and cow) c. 1950

Curator: Here we have an untitled photograph by Jack Gould, presenting a rather unusual pastoral scene. Editor: It's like a strange dream. This cow looms over two fawns, an odd family unit caught in high contrast. It's unsettling but also, dare I say, tender? Curator: The juxtaposition definitely evokes curiosity. Cows, often symbols of nurturing and plenty, alongside fawns, embodying innocence. Is Gould exploring shared vulnerability? Editor: Perhaps. Or maybe just stumbled upon this bizarre moment. Either way, it messes with the head in a beautiful way. Makes you question what you think you know about nature, doesn't it? Curator: It does. It reveals nature's unexpected alliances. I see a commentary on the blurring lines between domesticity and the wild. Editor: Right. Maybe it's about how these supposedly separate worlds are actually bumping into each other all the time, creating these weird, beautiful collisions. Curator: It's a strangely comforting thought. Editor: Exactly. Like, maybe the world’s a bit weirder and softer than we give it credit for.
