Lotus Blossom ハスの花

KONO Ryutaro 河野龍太郎

This photographer produced many outstanding portraits while operating a commercial photography studio. He also showed many of his landscapes and still lifes, bromoil prints with rag-wipe retouching, in public exhibitions. In this work we see a lotus blossom blooming in a pond. The combination of straight enlargement and subtle retouching reveals a pictorial world from which perspective has been erased.

The Laotian Incursion was intended to lure the North Vietnams forces into battle by invading neighboring Laos, which had become a sanctuary and supply route for the NLF and the North Vietnamese army. It ended in complete failure. In the middle of battle, a government soldier flees, carrying a wounded soldier on his back
