American Street photographer Charles Traub found his muse in the Italy of the early 1980s. "I swa the country as a wondrous place for drama, display, humanity, pathos, and joy," says Traub. "All of these things were played out on the streets of every ciy, and my purpose was just to look." Walking through the back alleys of Venice one day, he came across two kids eating gelato by a canal, Isola di San Michele behind them. While their matching tomato-red outfits and bowl haircuts are a time stamp from 1981, their postures suggest the much older Italian idea of dolce far niente, the pleasure of doing nothing.--Alice Newell-Hanson "Conde Nast Traveler " Bordering on fashion, folly, excess and the everyday, Traub's images of Italy in the 80s are bursting with life and saturated with color, and welcome the reader into a lush and vibrant whilrwind.--TIME LightBox
In his latest collection, photographer Charles H. Traub (born 1945) turns his emphatically American gaze upon the streets and byways of Italy, from Milan to Marsala. Traub's brilliant blues, reds and yellows accent the baroque posturing and gestures of strangers and ordinary people. Traub's friend and guide, the late photographer Luigi Ghirri, said of the imagery, "you see our foibles, strip us bare, make love through the camera and then venerate us." Dolce Via is the first comprehensive collection of these vivid color photographs, which were made in Italy during the early 1980s. This publication includes contributions from American art critic, photographer and founding editor of Artforum, Max Kozloff, and the Italian poet, Luigi Ballerini.

Dialogo di Luigi Ballerini. 60 fotografie di Charles H. Traub . 8vo (cm 31x25). pp. 112. . Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . "Dolce Via. Italy in the 1980s" di Charles H. Traub è la prima raccolta completa degli scatti realizzati dal fotografo americano da Milano a Marsala nei primi anni ?80. Nelle sue immagini Traub unisce spontaneità e umorismo, descrivendo un'Italia esistita (forse) solo un tempo. Le fotografie raccolte in Dolce Via. Italy in the 1980s sono state esposte precedentemente al Museo Hudson River, alla Light Gallery di New York e alla Galleria Agorà di Torino a metà anni ?80. Amico e guida di Traub, Luigi Ghirri commentò così le sue immagini: "Vedi le nostre debolezze, ci spogli e ci denudi, fai l'amore attraverso la telecamera e infine ci veneri."Between 1977 and 1980, photographer Charles H. Traub (born 1945) ventured onto the streets of Chicago, New York and various European cities to take photographs of their inhabitants--male and female, young and old-at lunchtime. Colorful and direct, animated and intimate, the portraits are shot close to the subjects, composed seemingly off-the-cuff, focusing on just their heads and shoulders. Each subject reveals something of himself or herself to the camera: the woman who takes the opportunity to pose in dignified profile or the one who purses her lips in an exaggerated pout, even the somewhat less fortunate subjects caught adjusting their glasses or blinking. Charles H. Traub: Lunchtime is the first comprehensive publication of these striking color images, which were exhibited in the early 1980s in Chicago, New York and Milan. This volume maintains the cheerfulness and joy of the series, with lively pairings of photographs encouraging viewers to associate one individual with another in a new narrative of the street.GUARDA IL VIDEO.
