The images in this gallery are arranged in chronological order, beginning with this study of the faces and costumes of a group of young women. Note the variety of hat styles.
Cattle Market (Races Étrangères), Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France.
The relaxed but confident cattleman in the center looks directly at the photographer. The gesture of his left arm sets off an undulating wave pattern, extending through the horns of the steers, and is set against the stark black rectangular openings of the building in the rear.
Cattle Market (Vétérinaire), Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France
There is ample space around the three central figures. The V-shape of the two staffs ignites the visual energy of this picture. Three young cattlemen, wearing berets typical of the Basque region, stare directly at the photographer, one smiling, the other two eying him coolly. With few exceptions, the images in this exhibition are presented as Scheuer saw them. The black borders around the perimeter show that they have not been cropped.
Scheuer was interested not only in how the local people look, but in what they did. He was drawn to shopkeepers and artisans at work. Here a cheesemonger in the French Basque region arranges her wares.
