Ordinary people captured by an extraordinary photographer.

Photographer Albert Winkler (1923-1978) was a leading light of the new reporter generation after the Second World War. His work was varied and sophisticated, characterised by a humanistic world view. An exhibition in Bern’s Kornhausforum, accompanied by a book, bring a new audience and respect to the forgotten photographer.
