Description
Mario Giacomelli Figure/Ground by Virginia Heckert explores the work of Mario Giacomelli, one of Italy's foremost photographers of the twentieth century. Born into poverty and living in Senigallia, a seaside town along the Adriatic coast, Giacomelli developed his unique style through his preference for grainy, high-contrast film and paper. His photographs often focused on people, landscapes, and seascapes from the Marche region, with titles derived from poetry and literature transforming ordinary subjects into meditations on time, memory, and existence. This publication celebrates the Getty Museum's extensive Giacomelli holdings, formed through a significant gift from Daniel Greenberg and Susan Steinhauser. Spanning Giacomelli's entire career, from his earliest pictures to those made in the final years of his life, this book presents a comprehensive look at the photographer's work.
