Rembrandtplein, Amsterdam
Although the work of the Frenchman Roger Parry is associated primarily with Surrealism, he also took photographs with a less ambiguous and alienating character. This part of his oeuvre betrays the influence of the ‘New Objectivity.’ Two of this movement’s tried and tested stylistic devices can be discerned in this shot of Amsterdam’s Rembrandtplein, namely a high vantage point and diagonal lines.
