As a boy, this photographer and filmmaker passed the studio of a sculptor every day on his way to school. Watching the artist working captivated him, and once school was finished in the late 1950s he began working as the sculptor's assistant and apprentice, eventually becoming a sculptor himself. After studying photography and taking up filmmaking as well, he occupied himself with the sculptor's work also with the camera, resulting in countless images and an earlier film portrait. This book features a selection of his predominantly black-and-white pictures, many with a single sculpture as motif, highlighting the artist's strong archaic expressiveness.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
