Gertjan Bartelsman

No title (Men in bar)

A black-and-white gelatin silver print capturing a candid moment of men gathered in a bar, rendered with the atmospheric depth and tonal richness characteristic of Bartelsman's documentary style. The image evokes a sense of everyday social life, with the interplay of light and shadow lending a quiet intimacy to the scene. Printed in 1981, the work reflects the photographer's keen eye for human connection within ordinary, lived-in spaces.
