"Not only was she a witness to and victim of war and fascism, she also captured the social contradictions after World War II with a critical and at the same time profoundly humane outlook."

Paul Huf put together this 1958 shot of top Dutch photographers, with the great Maria Austria on the left. Huf managed to scooch in beside her & still have this awesome result.
This 1966 shot by Maria Austria shows an advertising shot in Paul Huf's Amsterdam studio.

Her photographs of the Secret Annex stand alone as works of art, but they also provide valuable documentation. Many of Austria's family members were murdered by the Nazis.

The Prelude from the 5th Suite
Maria Austria's portraits are outstanding; this 1969 shot of Willem Sandberg especially. Sandberg was a graphic designer, and, like Austria herself, a member of the Dutch resistance during WWII.

Celebrate the Centennial of photographer Francesc Català-Roca 🎂💯
📷 Self-portrait, 1953
Català-Roca's version of Henri Cartier-Bresson's famous "decisive moment" was what he called the "eloquent moment". The difference is apparent when looking at the works of the two masters.

Remembering Patrick McGoohan on his birthday 🎂

"Without the Prisoner, we'd never have had cryptic, mind bending TV series like Twin Peaks or Lost. It's the Citizen Kane of British TV – a programme that changed the landscape."
