Description
Summary:After decades of neglect, this book brings back to life the artwork of Achille Bologna, one of the most eminent figures of art photography in Italy between the two World Wars. Its compilation has been possible by the recovery of the Bologna archive, which suffered severe losses over the years. First it was decimated by the bombing of Turin during WWII and, subsequently, thousands of the remaining works were lost under unfortunate circumstances. However, the current archive still holds about seven hundred prints by the artist, a selection of which has been reproduced in this volume.
