List, Herbert - Lo sguardo sulla bellezza: Roma, l'Italia e l'Europa nelle fotografie (New in plastic!)

With his photographic machine, Herbert List has traveled Europe, contributed innovative metaphysche images, he met and portrayed the intellectuals of his time. And above all, he composed an image of the vigorous and fascinating Mediterranean. Since the years, onwards, its balanced and perfect photographs of the south of Europe, of an Italy to be discovered, of a folding Greece have charmed generations of photographers and artists.

Shadows, a Dupray on the sea, a ray of sunshine in the alleys of Rome: for each framing list always seems able to block fragments of beauty, perfect in the combination of lights and shapes, such as irrepeptible, rare and precious realities.

Herbert List (7 October 1903 – 4 April 1975) was a German photographer, who worked for magazines, including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and Life, and was associated with Magnum Photos. His austere, classically posed black-and-white compositions, particularly his homoerotic male nudes, taken in Italy and Greece being influential in modern photography and contemporary fashion photography.
