Photo by Eva Besnyö, “The Wannsee Lido, Berlin, 1931”. Colorized.

Eva Besnyö, though widely recognized for her striking photography of interwar Berlin and Amsterdam, is less often noted as a pivotal figure in the Dutch feminist movement of the 1970s, using her camera to document women’s rights protests and actively shaping feminist visual culture.

Many remain unaware that Besnyö fled Hungary as a teenager, quickly integrating into Berlin’s avant-garde circles before anti-Jewish policies forced her to relocate again, this time to the Netherlands, where she would remain for the rest of her life.

Besnyö was also a technical innovator: she favored the Leica camera for its portability, embracing candid, unposed moments that set her apart from many contemporaries who relied on staged compositions.
