From March 25 to June 28, 2020, GAM in Turin is dedicating an exhibition to Italian informal photography from the 1930s to the 1950s.

In the spaces of the Wunderkammer of GAM - Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Torino will be open from March 25 to June 28, 2020 the exhibition Forma/Informe. The non-objective phase in Italian photography 1935-1958, curated by Antonella Russo.

Fifty vintage and original prints, mostly unpublished, by seven great photographers, from important Italian archives and prestigious international art collections, and twenty-three rare publications will be on display.

The exhibition stems from a survey of Italian experimental photography from the mid-1930s to the late 1950s. It begins with Giuseppe Cavalli ’s investigations of photographic luminism and Luigi Veronesi’s experimentation, and then considers the most accomplished phase of the non-objective image with the optical graphism of Franco Grignani, the chromatic cosmographies of Pasquale De Antonis, Piergiorgio Branzi’s pioneering research on the material, and finally examining a series of decompositions by Paolo Monti and Nino Migliori, today considered the greatest exponent of empathic photographic informalism after World War II.

Works on view include Cavalli’s Pallina (1949) and Muretto (1950), Veronesi’s Le stelle dalla mia finestra (1940), unpublished shots from the Montmartre series (1954) along with Branzi’s Mykonos (1957), and Migliori’s Oxidations, Pyrograms and Hydrograms.
