Ep.2: The 1940s and 50s in the exhibition “CHRONORAMA. Photographic Treasures of the 20th Century”, at Palazzo Grassi

Chronorama. Istantanee dal Novecento

Have you ever heard of “humanist photography”? Have they ever told you about a picture taken in Cuzco around Christmas in 1948? The second tale of Chronorama is the story of the 1940s and 50s through the images belonging to the Condé Nast archives, ranging from a picture taken by Robert Doisneau in Paris during the war, to the sophisticated style of the 1950s, to the innovative and disruptive figure of the photographer Diane Arbus.
