    Great study of ''"R"''A"'I"'N"''

    I just recently found out about Joris Ivens and is awe-inspired by the amount of pieces he made.

    This piece is a study about RAIN in the city. It is a beautiful montage of images,reflections,closeups,and people in the city.

    His work reminds me of Georgia O'Keefe's, work as an artist. Her work was based on bringing hidden details out into the open, I feel much the same way about Ivens. The slowness of the film gives one time to think about the images, and I like that. Unlike most films today, in and out as quickly as possible.

    A must see by any image loving artist.
