The emotional 1973 photograph ‘Mother and Babe-in-Arms’ is one of the artist’s most recognized pictures, radiating tenderness and joy. Korniss has never been interested in photographing posed models; instead, he prefers to capture the life of real people. Therefore, the artist always seeks to establish a personal connection with his subjects, resulting in remarkably powerful photographs. In the art of Korniss, kindness, intimacy and devotion always shine through, making the viewer feel as if the strangers portrayed were family.
