Artists often take a new turn in their final creative phase, their language and attitude changes, and other themes and motifs come to the fore. The Swiss photographer Jakob Tuggener, on the other hand, remained true to himself and his work in an almost irritating way. After he had already composed four unique books on the themes of spring, summer, autumn and winter during the 1940s, in 1973 and 1974, at the age of almost 70, he created completely new versions of these "peasant books" under the title The 4 Seasons. They are dedicated to the simple life in the country, reflecting the recurring cycle of nature in sensitively observed, atmospherically charged, but never picturesque photographs and are at the same time a reflection on human life and transience.
