It is comforting to know that I am not the only one intrigued by this photographs and all other Kutno-related photographs by Hugo Jeager. For me, there is something magical about this portrait because each time I look at it, I feel that the girl looks somewhat familiar. To my surprise, many others who view it, claim the same. Obviously, this an illusion but it speaks for the superb skill of Jaeger as a photographer. There is warmth radiating from her face and from her smile. The camera was positioned slightly higher than her face since she is looking up. I guess, a true calling of a photographer forces him or her to depict human condition, no matter what was the actual „grand” assignment. This portrait is a testament to living at the „brink of oblivion.”
Thank you for this article and for Ms. Majewska’s thoughts.
