AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
David Hurn (1934), A hard Day's Night, 1964.
Silver-gelatin print, 10.5 x 14.5 cm. Framed and mounted in a passe-partout 23 x 27.5 cm. Verso with a copy of the photograph’s background, signature and title, which was published by Magnum.
Transcription of the text: A fan recognizing Paul McCartney during the filming of The Beatles’ film, ‘A Hard Day’s Night’, which was primarily shot on a moving train. London, England, Great Britain. 1964.
“One of the unsolved mysteries—or joys—of photography is how a group of items or facts in a photograph can seemingly produce a different reaction than the obvious when one simply analyses the component parts. There is always ambiguity related to our personal imagination. What is the lovely lady with the camera thinking? What is the hero of the moment, Paul, suggesting? What does pointing suggest?”
— David Hurn
Condition: Very good.
Provenance: Private collection, Berlin.
