Roloff Beny (Photographer)

Amateur film taken by Canadian photographer Roloff Beny on his early tours of Europe. Includes views of Florence, Venice, Pisa, Brussels, Paris, Toledo, Barcelona, The Hague, and other locations. Beny's distinctive photographic style is evident in the recurring sequences of cathedral spires, domes, arches, flowers, and local people performing everyday tasks of fishing, ploughing, and marketing. Scenes of bull-fights in Spain and footage of the Netherlands are noteworthy. The footage is almost exclusively of buildings and landscapes, but there are also sequences of his parents (Rosalie and Charles Beny) and friends, including Peggy Guggenheim, Charles Read, and [Graham Sutherland].
