From the series »Il pittore Bastari«
Artikelnummer 057-00197
Mario Giacomelli developed his significant photographic style in landscapes and documentary series since the Fifties. The captivating sharp black-and-white contrasts and graphic qualities of his works are internationally appreciated.
Living in the same hometown as the then already famous photographer, painter Walter Bastari (born 1946) commissioned Giacomelli to portray him for the curriculum vitae section of an exhibition catalogue. Photographs were taken in the painter's studio and at the environments of Senigallia where both came up with extraordinary image ideas and ironic poses – finally the accumulated results were published as a photo book. In one of the most felicitous pictures of the series a wisp of Bastari's hair cuts across his face like a paint stroke.
