50 anni di Fotografia Sperimentale in Italia 1935-1985

Et al.

Genius and invention in Italy are not expressed through systematic study but rather through sudden personal discoveries. The misconception is that artistic creation is an irresponsible and reflexive act; instead, it emerges from a slow process of introspection and the exploration of the infinite possibilities between reality and imagination. Italian artists apply strict methodologies only after isolating the essential idea driven by their intimate and existential impulses. This approach is deeply rooted in centuries of tradition, shaping the dreams of figures like Dante, Leonardo, Michelangelo, contemporary designers, and stylists. Italian genius often revolutionizes rules and celebrates fantasy. In photography, research evolution follows this natural law. Italian photography history lacks personalities comparable to great international photographers. After World War II, Italian photographers found their unique style, distinguishing themselves internationally, though they remain under-recognized due to poor exchange policies. Italian experimental photography has had a clear purpose since the early 20th century, continuing uninterrupted. This research reflects authentic artistic values and aligns with Italy's art-making ethos. Italians, inventive with techniques and visual resources, use photography with passion and an imaginative obstinacy that leads to unique solutions.
