Adrianus Remiëns

Adrianus Remiëns is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Adrianus Remiëns spent his days roaming the Dutch countryside with a box camera strapped to his chest, more scout than artist. One afternoon in 1912 he snapped a tilted shot of a windmill’s shadow stretching across a field; the negative cracked, yet the print became his quiet hit. Look for that photograph—titled simply Untitled—where the flaw turns the scene into something almost alive, like the mill itself had sneezed.
