This is a treasure and a joy to see. So rare that an artist whose eyes one has the chance to see through brings you, with them, the chance to live through those eyes for a moment, and by extension to live a split second in the life of the subject. Yes like a film but in a way also like a cross section through a vivid dream. I felt this with the paintings and etchings of Otto Dix and I feel this with these photographs. Wonderful—like you said, absolutely of their time and yet one can live in them now.
