Renowned for his daring aerial photography, Willi Ruge was a close friend of photographer and painter Heinz Hajek-Halke. In this image, Ruge adopts a similarly elevated perspective to capture Hajek-Halke as he portrays Ruge’s wife, reflecting their shared interest in experimental viewpoints and dynamic composition. – Some light handling creases and buckling from glue used for mounting, retouched scratch mark in left area, otherwise in good condition.
