Splendid portrait of Connie, from 1943, before his death, on April 3. Photographer Clarence Sinclair Bull managed to capture Connie’s beauty, but also his discreet, partly optimistic, partly melancholic smile - he couldn’t struggle anymore, he couldn’t fight against Hitler and WWII anymore, he couldn’t wait any longer for his beloved Viola to come back to him… He was tired of everything, because the whole world had changed dramatically. Doesn’t this photo tell us all “Adieu!” ? Perhaps it was his last photo session… Attachments:

Perhaps it was his last photo session… That is really a striking portrait especially when one considers everything you said to preface it  I believe it shows a look of personal strength too. |

Monica, I was so struck by what you had posted about Conrad Veidt that I wanted to repost the picture with this song. I don't know how to make the song go with the picture so please bear with me.  |
