Between Art and Nature

Scarzella has identified twenty photographers within the collection whose works offer a broad overview of the way in which photography has portrayed Nature and the way in which Nature has inspired the most diverse photographic works. Starting from the iconic silhouettes of plants by Karl Blossfeldt (1865 \u2013 1932), the exhibition moves through well-known and lesser-known names and works such as the x-ray photographs of flowers taken by Dr. Darin L. Tasker (1872 \u2013 1964), juxtaposed with milestones of the genre such as the impeccable still-life by Kenro Izu (1949) and Tom Baril (1952). From the idyllic worlds of Annelies \u0160trba (1947) we move on to the meticulous ethnographic documentation of Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) up to the landscapes suspended in time of Sarah Moon (1941) to then arrive at Masahisa Fukase’s (1934 \u2013 2012) photographs of flocks of crows as an allegory of pain and studies on clouds as a metaphor for life by Alfred Stieglitz (1864 \u2013 1946).<\/p>\n
