[Leica] Leica mystery

[Douglas Barry]

Yes, it is the very planned decisive moment with probably Willi 
Baumeister (or his twin) carrying a painting. You wonder were any of the 
other people in the picture prompted to place themselves exactly where 
they are? It's expanding art with artifice. No one can tell us now as 
the little girl walking uphill past the bar with  her mother must be 
tipping 100 years old now - if she has survived. My mother would have 
been four at the time and is now in a nursing home.

Anyway, without his new Leica, the influence of Atget on a very 
collaborative art scene in Paris, this photo would not have happened.
