Fotografia Italiana Ora / Italian Photography Now: Thirteen Young Contemporaries - Softcover

Italiana Fotografia features thirty-five works by thirteen advanced photography students from Libera Accademia di Belle Arti, Florence, Italy. These works represent a wide range of subject, media, and approach to contemporary photography in Italy, and they demonstrate the impact of global culture. The photographs contained in this collection range from landscape, portrait and self-portrait, the nude, to fantasy and constructed realities of dream-like intensity. Also included are biographical descriptions for each artist as well as an insightful introduction by the curator.

David A. Lewis, Professor of Art History and former Director of the SFA School of Art, USA, is a specialist in Modern American and European art. Dr. Lewis is the compiler of Rico Lebrun: Consulting the Tangible World (2004) and has written about Dorothy Shakespear Pound, Leonard Baskin, and Michael (Corinne) West. He is currently working on a catalogue of the SFA Galleries' collection of works by the sculptor and painter Samuel Rothbort.
