DescriptionDescription: Hans Hammarskiöld was one of the foremost photographers of post-war Sweden. He took this portrait of the sculptor Bror Hjorth as early as 1964, but not until 35 years later did he first print it and discover its artistic possibilities. Here, Hammarskiöld has chosen to subtly highlight certain qualities, such as an indefinable, mysterious spatial setting. Despite the chiaroscuro, we can still make out the characteristic straight fringe of the sitter.
