Herbert List Lemonade Stand. Capri, Italy. 1932.
“Herbert List was no ‘chasseur d’images.’ Headline news did not motivate him to take the camera. His approach from the get-go was more artistic than journalist
(...) ic, more poetic than factual. List’s 1932 image of a lemonade stand on Capri playfully subverts Capa’s catchy dictum. It puts in focus, and in the foreground, what another observer might see as a mere placeholder to the scene unfolding between the characters in the back.”
