Benno Elkan is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Benno Elkan spent his life dodging labels, born in Germany, he fled to England in the 1930s, carrying a camera like a diary. He snapped street scenes and shop windows, not grand vistas, catching the quiet drama in ordinary moments. You’ll find his eye in the Tate’s archives, where photos like Untitled (Photograph) prove how much can hide in a shadow or a flicker of light.
