Izis Poet of Photography More at: < www.mnaf.it >
T
he exhibition dedicated to Izis Bidermanas, showing a selection of about 120 photographs and the screening of the film entitled “Aperçus d’une vie (Scorci di vita)”, is a chance to discover something really new, as well as find out more about the intense activity of this author; he is considered one of the greatest humanist photographers of the last century and a poet of imagery, portraitist and reporter who, after being exiled from Lithuania as a young man, tried to find rest in the ‘Paris of his dreams’. Years later his photographs, sharply defined by the light and with a particularly sensitive atmosphere, are always evidence of great poetry. Although Izis is mentioned in all histories of photography and has written many books, which are considered timeless models of reference, he is still, even today, little known as an artist to the general public. Until January 6th
