Our last show got a rave review from Roberta Smith at the New York Times!
Neorealismo: Postwar Photography in Italy With 82 images by 19 photographers, this
wonderful show is a crash course in the extraordinary pictures taken of Italy stumbling back to
life after World War II. Against a backdrop of whitewashed villages and timeless landscapes
that sometimes evoke Renaissance paintings, scenes of poverty, harsh labor and desolation
alternate with displays of spirit, perseverance and tenderness. Impish children, craggy old men,
black-clad clergy and widows and ubiquitous bicycles- they all create an ambience you can
almost taste, and the had an indelible effect on Italian and French cinema.
