Mario Giacomelli, Medite, n.d.
Mario Giacomelli (1925-2000) sought out and even sometimes created abstract qualities in the Italian landscape. Shying away from more traditional and representational views of the land, Giacomelli's photographs transform the familiar into the foreign through distance, pattern, and stark contrast. With formal training as a typesetter, Giacomelli's graphic compositions come as no surprise. His work can be found in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
