Woman and Cow – Original Vintage – Black
White
Photographer: Klaus Redenbacher
Germany, circa 1972
In this delightful and candid moment captured by photographer Klaus Redenbacher, a woman lies in a grassy meadow, laughing joyfully as she shares a whimsical eye-to-eye exchange with a curious cow. The cow, seemingly amused, leans forward inquisitively, creating an endearing scene full of character and lightness. This vintage black-and-white photograph from around 1972 radiates warmth, humor, and a timeless connection between human and animal in the peaceful countryside of postwar Germany.
About Klaus Redenbacher
"A photographer paints with the camera" (Augsburger Allgemeine, May 7/8, 1970) or "Pioneer and father of the modern color portrait" (Who's Who in Photo, Film
TV, circa 1980) are just a few examples of the press acclaim that describe Klaus Redenbacher’s photographic work and career, which spanned nearly five decades. Born in Nuremberg in 1935, he began an apprenticeship as a photo lab technician with portrait photographer Ludwig Harren in Nuremberg from 1952 to 1956, before enrolling at the Bavarian State Institute of Photography in Munich. His first professional steps followed as a fashion and advertising photographer for the Daco publishing house (Günther Bläse) and the Herrmann Bruder advertising agency in Stuttgart. In 1960, he passed his master craftsman's examination in photography, with a focus on portrait, fashion, industry, and advertising.
He then worked as a freelance photojournalist. A photo report on Istanbul was published in Madame magazine and awarded first prize by the travel magazine Merian (1960/61). As part of the University of the Seven Seas program, Redenbacher served as a ship photographer aboard the intercontinental cruise ship MS Seven Seas in 1963/1964. He also produced advertising and industrial photography for companies such as Bayer AG, Electrostar, the Waldhof-Aschaffenburg paper mills, and Kodak.
Starting in 1969, Redenbacher increasingly devoted himself to color portrait photography. In the same year, he took over the management of the ERTL photo studio in Augsburg. Two years later, in 1971, he opened his own studio at Martin-Luther-Str. 24 in Munich-Giesing, which remained a prominent address for portrait photography in Munich until 2004.
Redenbacher achieved his greatest success in portrait photography, benefiting from his background in fashion and advertising as well as from the fact that German print media began introducing color photography in the second half of the 1950s, while traditional photographic portraiture was still primarily done in black and white. Ultimately, Redenbacher saw himself as a portrait photographer with an artistic, painterly ambition, whose work was largely informed by a journalistic approach in color. Over the course of his long career, he portrayed prominent figures such as writer and painter Jean Cocteau, composer Carl Orff, zoologist Konrad Lorenz, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Werner Heisenberg, and sculptor Helmut Lederer. For his achievements in portrait photography, he was awarded the Euro Medal for Art and Culture in Gold by the Baden-Baden Cultural Circle (1980) and the Gold Medal of the Accademia Italia delle Arti e del Lavoro, based in Salsomaggiore Terme, Italy (1982).
