A major figure of the Dutch photography scene, basing his approach on the New Photography movement, Cas Oorthuys (1908–1975) travelled the world from the interwar years to the 1970s. Through a unique testimony of about 500,000 images, mostly taken in 6 x 6 cm, his photographs intertwine personal and historical narratives, from the Dutch resistance to Amsterdam, Europe and beyond.
