EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Franz Kafka, the renowned Czech-German writer, in an intimate moment with Felice Bauer, his long-term lover and correspondent, in 1917. The image, an anonymous silver gelatin print from a private collection, offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the author, who is best known for his dark and complex literary works. Kafka, dressed in a formal suit and tie, gazes intently at Felice, who sits next to him, her expression thoughtful and introspective. The photograph, with its soft focus and subtle tonalities, creates an atmosphere of intimacy and introspection, inviting viewers to ponder the complexities of their relationship. Felice Bauer was a significant influence on Kafka's writing, serving as the inspiration for several of his characters and providing him with emotional support during his turbulent personal life. Their correspondence, which spanned over a decade, is a testament to their deep connection, and the photograph serves as a poignant reminder of their enduring bond. The photograph's provenance is unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. It offers a glimpse into the private world of one of the 20th century's most enigmatic writers and sheds light on the intricacies of his personal relationships. The photograph's anonymous origin only adds to its intrigue, making it a valuable addition to any collection of fine art images or Kafka scholarship.
