He had been responsible for a notable work in the Dutch ‚beelroman‘ (photonovel) tradition, ‚Oog om Oog‘ (Eye for Eye)“ (Parr/Badger II, 227 zu „Sex a gogo“). – „Sanne Sannes was a graphic artist and painter before he became a photographer. In 1964, five years he had dropped out as a student at the Minerva Academy in Groningen, he took part in a group exhibition in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, where he came into conflict with W. Kloet, the keeper of the photographic collection. The conflict is worth mentioning because it illustrates a change in artistic self-consciusness. Kloet had cropped Sanne’s prints slightly to make them fit into the exhibition that he had in mind: a magazine-like montage. This form was inspired by the exhibition ‚Family of Man‘, which had been presented in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam in 1956 and was still very common in the 1960s. The young photographer protested against the mutilation and won his case; the museum paid for new prints. Sannes’ short and successful career was terminated at the age of thirty by a car crash. … The emotional quality of his photographs was hightened by use of dynamic angles, lacking of focus, movement, printing-in and double printing. Sametimes he scratched the negatives or created special effects with drops of water“ (H. Visser, Dutch Eyes S. 488). – Sehr gutes Exemplar.
