Photo Guy Bourdin, Vogue Paris 1958 “Annette” Beatrice Brandini When I was studying fashion was fascinated, but I could tell almost enchanted, by the pictures of Guy Bourdin. They were not “just” fashion photographs, but frames stolen from a movie, surrealist tales, enchanted visions.
Poster: “Picasso and the Spanish modernity” “Dora” by Beatrice Brandini Situated in Florence’s Palazzo Strozzi, there is an interesting exhibition devoted to Picasso: “Picasso and the Spanish modernity.” Talk about Picasso is too easy (or difficult, depending on the views and expectations that you have), certainly is a risk of trivializing a very complex figure.
