The man is aware of the camera\u0026rsquo;s presence and he looks straight at the lens. The woman keeps her distance. She turns her back to the camera and her face is never visible. The work is an intimate portrait of this couple, the sediment of a moment that is preserved, as a whole, as a cluster. At the same time, this portrait series is colored by the photographer\u0026rsquo;s eye. It is his look at this scene. The tension between the images\u0026rsquo; intimacy and the \u0026lsquo;public access\u0026rsquo; of the photographs is tangible. The work is also a color study of the bedroom\u0026rsquo;s warm coloration. Robert Frank described photography as \u0026lsquo;painting with light\u0026rsquo;. The woman\u0026rsquo;s pose also harks back to classical painting: it evokes associations with the myriad of painted recumbent female nudes.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOktober:\u0026nbsp;Brussel\u003c/em\u003e is een suite, een sequens van beelden van een koppel, naakt in bed. De man is zich bewust van de blik van de camera en kijkt af en toe recht in de lens. De vrouw blijft op afstand. Ze draait haar rug naar de camera en haar gezicht is op geen enkele foto zichtbaar. Het werk is een intiem portret van dit koppel, de neerslag van een moment dat bewaard wordt, als een geheel, als cluster. Tegelijk is deze portretreeks gekleurd door de blik van de fotograaf. Het is zijn kijk op dit tafereel. De spanning tussen de intimiteit van de beelden en de openbaarheid van de foto\u0026rsquo;s is voelbaar. Het werk is ook een kleurenstudie van het warme koloriet van de slaapkamer. Robert Frank omschrijft deze werkwijze als: \u0026lsquo;photography is painting with light\u0026rsquo; (fotografie is schilderen met licht). De houding van de vrouw refereert ook aan de klassieke schilderkunst: haar houding roept associaties op met schilderijen van liggend vrouwelijk naakt.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOctobre:\u0026nbsp;Bruxelles\u003c/em\u003e est une suite, une s\u0026eacute;quence d\u0026#39;images d\u0026#39;un couple nu au lit.
