Information
Vintage gelatin silver print applied on original cardboard
cm 16,4 x 11,5 (cm 25 x 16,8 cardboard) | 6.5 x 4.5 in. (9.8 x 6.6 in. cardboard)
The Bragaglia brothers devoted themselves to the same extent and with the same passion to futurist research and cinema. These two images, so different from each other, clearly illustrate the (apparent) extremes of their interests: how rigorous, classic, linear is the portrait of the director Alessandro Blasetti, who also has something unusual in his gaze, how provocative, 'dirty', disorienting is the one that alludes to the vigour that had to go through the photography of the present for those daring innovators like an electric shock.
