The Photographer Who Hated Reality | Mario Giacomelli's Black & White
Photographic Inspiration
Was Mario Giacomelli (1925 - 2000) a photographer or a graphic poet?
Dive into the radical, high-contrast black and white world of one of Italy's most unique visual artists. Giacomelli used his camera not to document reality, but to shatter it into abstract, linear compositions—etchings of the soul rather than records of the eye.
From the stark figures of the Scanno series to the abstracted patterns of his Metamorphosis of the Land landscapes, we explore how this self-taught typesetter redefined the photographic print and became a master of graphic expression.
