Présentation de l'éditeur
Geboren 1905 als Sohn einer wohlhabenden Turiner Baumeisterfamilie, studierte Carlo Mollino Kunstgeschichte und Architektur. Bekannt geworden ist er jedoch vor allem als Designer von Möbeln. Seine finanzielle Unabhängigkeit erlaubte ihm die detaillierte Gestaltung seiner im Geiste des Gesamtkunstwerks entwickelten Projekte. Mollinos Obsession galt der Formensprache des weiblichen Körpers. Eine Leidenschaft, der er im Geheimen nachging: Zwischen 1960 und 1973 entstehen etwa 1000 inszenierte Akt-Porträts (Polaroids) weiblicher Schönheiten des Turiner Nachtlebens. Für dieses Projekt hatte er eigens eine Villa auf den Hügeln Turins in ein Fotostudio verwandelt. Auch wenn Mollino die inszenierte Fotografie zur Kunstgattung erhoben hatte, hielt er seine Polaroids stets verborgen. Bis heute nehmen sie eine enigmatische Sonderrolle in seinem Werk ein und stehen zugleich für "die andere Seite" dieses in der Öffentlichkeit gerne als "Performer" agierenden Universalkünstlers.
Das Buch versucht, diese Ambivalenz zu durchleuchten, indem den Polaroids Objekte aus der zu seinen Lebzeiten ebenfalls der Öffentlichkeit verschlossenen Casa Mollino gegenübergestellt werden. Spiegeln seine Frauenakte allein seine männlich erotischen Fantasie wider oder verraten sie seine geistige und künstlerische Haltung? Eine Haltung, wie sie etwa in dem Leitsatz: "Alles ist erlaubt, solange es fantastisch ist" zum Ausdruck kommt?

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Fine copy-no flaws of this out of print book of work by Carlo Mollino. No dust jacket as issued. 220p. Edited by Kunsthalle Wien, Gerald A. Matt, Verlag für moderne Kunst Nürnberg. Text by Napoleone Ferrari, Lucas Gehrmann, Gerald A. Matt. About the book: Carlo Mollino (1905-1973) Everything we know of Carlo Mollino hints to a man of insatiable tastes. The Italian architect and designer indulged in a life of downhill skiing, stunt flying and race-car driving, augmenting his artistic pursuits with fiction and photography. The extent of his most personal obsession was discovered after his death in the form of some 1,300 Polaroid exposures of girlfriends, prostitutes and other women seduced on the grounds of his Turin residence. Carlo Mollino: Un Messaggio dalla Camera Oscura reveals the figure through images of his erotic portraiture. The hugely talented son of a wealthy engineer, Mollino led a prodigious career before taking a seat as professor of architecture at the University of Turin. Throughout his life, he became known for his elegantly styled furniture as well as a number of large-scale architectural endeavors. He published a book on alpine ski technique as well as a novel called "Vita di Oberon," which revealed his preoccupation with myth, allegory and classical influences. His endeavors were universal, an array of preoccupations that collide in his secret photographs. Staging his women in fake hair and erotic costumes, Mollino's reveals an aesthetic of contrast. Raging against an atmosphere of gilded interiors and lush fabrics is a primitive sexuality that approaches the statuesque. The faces are often expressionless, bodies lightly decorated in lace, gold chains and other opulent materials. Best known for the modernist-styled Teatro Regio of Turin, Mollino's work is best classified as "streamlined surrealism," blending embellishments with stark abstraction. The book features a series of essays on Mollino's life and work in addition to pictures of the man, his buildings and interiors. As an architect, he often looked to the female form for inspiration, using it to inform the lines on everything from luxury automobiles to lounge chairs. His work exhibits the strangulation he felt from the rationalist strictures of modernist forms, which fueled his interest in surrealism. "Mollino did not advocate purely functionalist formalism," writes Gerald Matt in the foreword, "but a style that approached the organic and placed the human being at it's center." The erotic models reflect the fantasies and subconscious exploration that informed his designs. was possessed of both tremendous energy and incredibly diverse abilities: famed as an architect and furniture designer, he was also a writer, photographer, race-car driver and downhill skier. His private life was no less intense. Mollino had a closely guarded obsession with erotic portraiture, and would regularly invite prostitutes from the streets of Turin to come to his home and pose for him. The scenes were carefully prepared: the models would dress (or partially undress) in costumes, accessories and wigs that Mollino had acquired on trips to France or Southeast Asia, and pose before backdrops of drapery, screens and sculptural furniture. Despite the furtive circumstances of their production, these portraits express the aesthetics of Mollino's more public photographs, as the models appear more statuesque than pornographic. Likewise, the opulent interiors and opulent furnishings of Mollino's private homes in Turin, the Villa Zaira and what is now known as Casa Mollino serve as crucial components of the compositions. In 1962, Mollino began to employ Polaroid film for these shoots, eventually making some 1,300 exposures before his death in 1973. Neither these nor the silver gelatin works that preceded them were published in his lifetime, and this is the first publication of these Polaroids. N° de réf. du vendeur ABE-1788194777767
