In terms of digital reproductions, there really isn’t much of Roloff Beny’s work online. So when I came across this Wine & Bowties post with gorgeous scans of Roloff Beny’s work in India from 1969, you bet I was totally stoked! (note: There are more images on their blog, so follow the link posted above)

From the write-up:

“…Beny was a world traveler, and India is one of a number of his works which could effectively be described as a love letter to the place it documents. One of the most impressive examples of his eye for color, scenery and natural beauty, India finds Beny exploring a place with no shortage of gorgeous landscapes, architecture, and rich culture. In some ways, these images read like an idyllic Westerner’s portrait, an aesthetically idealized version of a complex place…”

Having never traveled outside of the United States, these pictures almost look as if they were taken on another world.

The reflection of the building onto the water in the first image is breath-taking.

Thanks for sharing!

Amazing pics. Went on to the blog to look at the rest, and the one with the 2 women and the water pots looks like a painting… beautiful work!
