Ce volume nous fait mieux connaître l’œuvre et la destinée de Ghitta Carell (1899-1972), photographe d’origine hongroise naturalisée italienne. Née dans une famille juive modeste, Ghitta émigre au début des années 1920, avec ses parents, en Italie, où elle a tôt fait de devenir la plus recherchée des portraitistes. Dans son studio romain viennent poser intellectuels, acteurs, généraux, dirigeants politiques, mais aussi des femmes du monde, des figures de la grande bourgeoisie et de l’aristocratie, voire de familles régnantes. Elle recourt à la technique du banc optique pour ses clichés en noir et blanc, qu’elle retravaille avec maestria et subtilité, de façon à obtenir une image douce et lumineuse. Elle procède par soustraction, ôtant les strates de surface, dépouillant en quelque sorte ses modèles de leur masque afin de leur restituer non seulement leur visage, mais aussi et surtout leur âme. Lorsque Ghitta Carell meurt à Haïfa, en Israël, elle laisse plus de 50 000 plaques, aujourd’hui rassemblées en grande partie dans les archives de la Fondation 3M.

Hardback. Etat : New. 1st. This book explores the figure of Ghitta Carell (1899-1972), a Hungarian-born photographer who was naturalised Italian. Ghitta was born into a Jewish family of humble origins; at a very young age she moved to Italy, where she quickly became a very sought-after portrait photographer. Intellectuals, actors, generals, and political leaders posed in her studio in Rome, as well as famous women and members of royalty and the middle class.Her black-and-white pictures were taken with a view camera: Ghitta crafted her photographs with mastery and delicacy, and thus created luminous and soft images, intervening through subtraction by removing the most superficial layers. This is how she achieved a kind of unmasking, thanks to which she restored not only the face but first and foremost the soul of those photographed. Ghitta Carell died in Haifa, Israel, leaving behind more than 50,000 plates now mostly dispersed. Text in English and Hebrew. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9791254600542
