Information
Gelatin silver print on polycoated paper, printed later
cm 39,5 x 29 | 15.5 x 11.4 in.
Signed and dated in black ink on the image with Archivio Riccardo Moncalvo didactic stamp on the verso
Riccardo Moncalvo began photographing in his father's atelier named "Artistic and Industrial Photography." He was a member of the Subalpine Photographic Society, one of the very first associations of this kind in Italy and then co-founder, in 1948, of Fiaf. His best-known mountain photographs’ portray the Piedmont mountains. Even more interesting are his urban landscapes and architectures, characterized by a modern sense of geometric essentiality. Good examples are the photographs of the Monreale Kiosk, the result of a composition focused on light and shadow, and the one of the famous Turin confectionery factory “Talmone”.
