FASHION PHOTOGRAPHERS:FRANK HORVAT

 Frank Horvat was born in 1928 in Abbazia, which was then Italy but is now Croatia. He studied art in Milan and a meeting in 1951 with Henri Cartier-Bresson decided his fate as a photojournalist. He traveled the world during the early fifties, sending his work back to 'Paris Match', 'Life' and 'Realities' amongst other publications. During his long career, Frank Horvat has contributed to every major magazine and his work has been exhibited in Paris, London, Prague, Berlin and New York.  In 1955, Frank Horvat moved to London and working for 'Life' and 'Picture Post', he was the first to apply the 35mm camera and reportage techniques to fashion photography, creating a fresh, new and realistic style. This influenced the development of fashion photography in England, France and the United States. In 1956 Frank Horvat settled in Paris, continuing to photograph fashion in a reportage style. He continues to live in France today.

SHINING

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Treatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze. Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! -(Shine on you crazy diamond-Pink Floyd)

SUPERFETAZIONI

On May 15 in Rome was inaugurated another exhibition at Centrale Montemartini. Superfetazioni by Franco Losvizzero and Vito Bongiorno, two different artists united in an exhibition created especially for this museum, which sees his character in the coexistence of classical archeology and industrial. The works are displayed in the old coal warehouse where they mix the coal- paintings by Bongiorno and the robotic sculptures by Losvizzero. Definitely worth visiting this wonderful location.

 Il 15 maggio a Roma ha inaugurato anche un'altra mostra alla Centrale Montemartini. Superfetazioni di Franco Losvizzero e Vito Bongiorno, due diversi artisti uniti in questa esposizione creata appostitamente per questo museo, che vede la sua particolarità nella coesistenza di archeologia classica e industriale. Le opere sono esposte nel vecchio magazzino del carbone, dove si mescolano i quadri-carbone di Bongiorno con le sculture robotiche di Losvizzero.
