EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Indian Street Scene' by Marius Bauer, captures the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of India during the 1920s. The image transports us back in time, as we observe the intricate facade of a Hindu temple, its ornate entrance adorned with figures and sculptures. The temple's white and black chalk drawing-like appearance contrasts beautifully with the lively scene unfolding before it. Cows, a common sight in Indian streets, graze peacefully on the side of the road, their dark forms melding into the shadows cast by the building. People, dressed in colorful attire, go about their daily routines, their figures adding depth and movement to the scene. The temple's gateway serves as a way in, not only to the sacred space within, but also to the rich cultural heritage of Hindoostan. Marius Bauer, a Swiss artist, skillfully captured this moment in time with his camera, using the medium of photography to emphasize the stark contrasts and intricacies of the scene. The use of watercolor paint in the photograph adds an artistic touch, making it a unique and valuable piece of 20th-century art. This photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the enduring beauty and diversity of India during the 1920s.
