Ép.3: Les années ‘60 et ‘70 dans l'exposition “CHRONORAMA. Trésors photographiques du XXe siècle”, au Palazzo Grassi.
Susan Sontag est l'auteure de l'un des essais photographiques les plus importants de tous les temps. Elle est aussi la protagoniste, avec son fils, d'un portrait photographique éloquent et splendide. Ici commence le troisième et dernier récit de Chronorama, qui raconte les années ‘60 et ‘70, à travers les portraits du couple Federico Fellini et Giulietta Masina, d’un jeune Arnold Schwarzenegger et d’un acteur moins connu âgé de quinze ans: Björn Andrésen. La dernière photo de Chronorama est signée Irving Penn et est consacrée à un sujet en apparence peux intéressant: deux vieux mégots de cigarettes usés.

Avez-vous entendu parler de «photographie humaniste»? Et vous ont-ils parlé d'une photo prise à Cuzco, vers Noël 1948? Le second récit de Chronorama nous emmène dans les années ‘40 et ‘50 à travers les archives de Condé Nast, en passant d’une photo de Robert Doisneau prise à Paris pendant la guerre au style sophistiqué des années 1950 et la figure innovante et disruptive de la photographe Diane Arbus.

Ep.3: The 1960s and 70s in the exhibition “CHRONORAMA. Photographic Treasures of the 20th Century”, at Palazzo Grassi
Susan Sontag is not only the author of one of the most important essays about photography, but also the protagonist, together with her son, of an eloquent and wonderful portrait. The third and final tale of Chronorama starts from here, and then recounts the 1960s and 70s through the portraits of Federico Fellini and his wife Giulietta Masina, of a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, and of lesser known figures such as the fifteen-year-old actor Björn Andrésen. The last photo mentioned in Chronorama is by Irving Penn, dedicated to an apparently dull subject: two old and worn cigarette butts.

Ep.2: The 1940s and 50s in the exhibition “CHRONORAMA. Photographic Treasures of the 20th Century”, at Palazzo Grassi
Have you ever heard of “humanist photography”? Have they ever told you about a picture taken in Cuzco around Christmas in 1948? The second tale of Chronorama is the story of the 1940s and 50s through the images belonging to the Condé Nast archives, ranging from a picture taken by Robert Doisneau in Paris during the war, to the sophisticated style of the 1950s, to the innovative and disruptive figure of the photographer Diane Arbus.

Riviste come Vogue e Vanity Fair sono stati i luoghi in cui la fotografia ha provato a raccontare il mutare delle epoche e l’evoluzione dello stile nel passaggio da un decennio all’altro. “Chronorama. Istantanee dal Novecento” è un racconto audio in tre parti che ci porta all’interno della mostra “Chronorama. Tesori fotografici del 20° secolo” in apertura dal 12 marzo, a Palazzo Grassi, a Venezia.

Attraverso lo sguardo di grandi fotografi come Irving Penn e Cecil Beaton, Helmut Newton e Robert Doisneau, il Novecento torna davanti ai nostri occhi. “Chronorama. Istantanee dal Novecento” non è un invito alla nostalgia e al rimpianto, ma a osservare con attenzione, curiosità e affetto un’epoca che abbiamo vissuto.The 20th century was a time of wars and misery, but also of great prosperity and beauty.
