CHARLIE RIVEL Black & White









I really love the atmospheric qualities of many of the pre-war European circus clown photos. There such are great photographs of artists like Grock, Rivel and the Fratellinis that make wonderful use of lights, darks and shadows and that all but disappears with the post-war rush to color photography.



And as an extra added bonus, here are some program pages of Charlie from the op-art/pop-art 1960s.
