Werner Bischof A flute player on the road to Cuzco, near Písac, in the The Sacred Valley of the Urubamba River, Peru. May, 1954.
“In May 1954, the photographer Eugene V. Harris met Werner Bischof in Machu Picch
(...) u. He wrote of this time:
‘On the last night of my brief friendship with Werner we sat before a fireplace, high in the Andes mountains of Peru, talking photography most of the night. I shall always remember his advice to me: “to take pictures with your heart.” His deep compassion for the humble people of the world, as revealed in his photos, will leave its permanent imprint on the work of other photographers.’
This was the last picture taken before Bischof’s tragic death in the Peruvian Andes.”
