Tobogganing on Hampstead Heath, 1938 (via) |
This lovely photo (where was it, exactly?) brings to mind "Hunters in the Snow", especially when it's taken into monotone -
And yet the two are nothing alike! What makes the mental link ... Is it the trees in the middle distance? Is it the figures far away?
Or am I just getting mixed up with something else...
I think it's because we see all the larger figures from the back; they're looking out at the much smaller people playing in the middle ground.
ReplyDeletewhat a nice comparison!!
And looking at these images I'm remembering that scene from Ethan Frome where they're sledding down a snowy hill.
