The German Herman Wilhelm Brandt lived two decisive turning points for his career: when he embraced the Surrealism cause mutating the aesthetics and the left-winged political horizons and when he discovered England where he moved to and where he changed his name into Bill. This image summarizes - in the references to Atget, in the gloomy representation of a rainy day and in the rigor of the composition - the themes dear to his style.
