Description

Grande Mostra Lisette Model is a photographic monograph that explores the work of Austrian-born photographer Lisette Model. Published in 2021, this volume marks the first Italian retrospective dedicated to her career.

Lisette Model was both an educator and a pioneering figure in the development of photography in the 1950s and 1960s. Her photographs often captured the darker aspects of American society in the post-war era, using irony and satire to convey her observations. This book presents a range of Model's lesser-known projects, showcasing her unique approach to photography.

Through close-ups, flash usage, and exaggerated contrasts, Model's work reveals its own brand of humor and irreverence. Her subjects are transformed into characters in a comedic human drama, offering a distinctive perspective on reality.
