Wulz Sisters' Avant-Garde Photography Show Opens at Estorick Collection

The Estorick Collection in London is set to open 'Wanda and Marion Wulz: Avant-Garde Photography in 20th Century Italy', an exhibition curated by Federica Muzzarelli. The show highlights the work of sisters Wanda and Marion Wulz, who defied the patriarchal constraints of fascist Italy in the 1920s and 30s by using photography as a means of independence. They photographed dancers, fencers, and other famous women, and experimented with blended and altered images decades before Photoshop. Their most famous work, 'I + Cat', is a self-portrait of Wanda superimposed with the family pet, Mucincina. The exhibition aims to reframe Marion's role, showing her as more than just an assistant. The show opens at the Estorick Collection, a museum dedicated to modern Italian art, and runs from [insert dates if known]. This retrospective underscores the sisters' pioneering contributions to avant-garde photography and their subversive use of the medium during a repressive era.
