‘Chromotherapia. Feel-Good Color Photography’ offers genuine relief from a black-and-white world. Often underrated and not always taken seriously, color photography has nevertheless allowed artists to wield their palettes and “paint.” Many of them freed themselves from the documentary status of the medium to explore the common roots of image and imagination, flirting with the worlds of Surrealism and Pop Art. The renowned Italian visual artist and curator Maurizio Cattelan and the curator Sam Stourdzé propose a rereading of the history of color photography from the 20th to the 21st century, through the works of more than 19 artists who accompany us into vibrant, tangy worlds. Treat yourself to a journey through sunny yellow, brilliant blue, intense red, lively orange and much more, straight from the lenses of the greatest names in color photography. Artists included: Madame Yevonde, Harold Edgerton, Erwin Blumenfeld, Walter Chandoha, William Wegman, Hiro, Guy Bourdin, Alex Prager, Juno Calypso, Adrienne Raquel, Miles Aldridge, Ouka Leele, Hassan Hajjaj, Ruth Ossai, Pierre et Gilles, Sandy Skoglund, Martin Parr, Arnold Odermatt, ‘Toiletpaper’.

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.

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.
