The photograph “Untitled” by Garry Winogrand dates back to the 1950s. It depicts a scene with two individuals in an enclosed space. The photograph has a candid, street photography feel to it, typical of Winogrand’s style.
In the image, there is an older man seated and looking upwards toward another individual who is standing with his back to the camera. The standing man wears a hat and an overcoat, and he faces away from the viewpoint, creating an air of mystery about his interaction with the seated man. There’s a striking contrast between the seated man’s attentive expression and the standing man’s anonymity. Additionally, there appears to be another hat on a hat stand, which adds an interesting compositional element to the image, creating a triangle between the two men and the hat. The photo captures a moment that seems both ordinary yet intriguing, raising questions about the relationship and conversation between the two men.
