Vivian Maier. A photographer found
If the photo that has conquered the world arrive for the first time in Milan.
The exhibition, curated by Anne Morin and Alessandra Mauro, is in collaboration with diChroma Photography and promoted by Form Marvel.
The life and work of Vivian Maier are surrounded by an aura of mystery that has contributed to enhance the charm.
Nanny of profession, photographer by vocation, never left the camera, snapping compulsively with hes Rolleiflex.
It is 2007 when John Maloof, at the time real estate agent, buying at an auction part of the archive of Maier confiscated for failure to pay. Soon becomes clear that he had found a precious treasure and then never stop looking material on this mysterious photographer, coming to store more than 150,000 negatives and 3,000 prints.
The exhibition presented by Marvel Form collects 120 photographs in black and white made between the fifties and sixties years along with a selection of color images taken in the seventies years, as well as some movies on super 8 that show that Vivian Maier approached his subjects .
Imposing figure but discreet, decisive and uncompromising manner, Vivian Maier portrayed the city where he had lived - New York and Chicago - with a curious look, attracted by small details, from the details, the imperfections but also by children, older people, from life that flowed before his eyes on the street, the city and its people in a time of fervent social and cultural change. Powerful images of a dazzling beauty that reveal a great photographer.
Her photographs have never been exhibited or published while she was alive, most of its rollers were not developed, Vivian Maier seemed photograph for herself.
Observing his photographic work stands out the presence of numerous self-portraits, as a possible legacy against a public which has never wanted or could have something to do.
