Galerie Weisbard shows the versatile work of photographer Jan Henderik (1935-2018). Vincent Mentzel speaks highly of the man who inspired him: 'You want to enter the world that Henderik has captured'.
Unseen includes photos of the road trips he made with his wife and daughter in their converted Citroën 2 CV to India, Afghanistan and the Sahara. The photographer had his travel photos developed in beautiful cibachrome and much of his fashion photography was published in the legendary Avenue. They are interspersed with committed work, street photography, landscapes, Rotterdam images and hilarious studio recordings (poet Frans Vogel dressed as Godfather Don Corleone).
It is obvious to compare the eclectic oeuvre with Ed van der Elsken, but Jan Henderik's work is too original and diverse to stop at this comparison.
