Luigi Veronesi's Rare Photograms at Milan Gallery

exhibition · 2026-05-05

A young Milanese gallery is showcasing rare photograms by Luigi Veronesi (1908-1998), a key Italian abstractionist who networked with European avant-gardes alongside Prampolini in the early 1930s. Veronesi debuted in 1934 at Milan's historic Galleria Il Milione, working across graphics, painting, design, and cinema. The photograms are camera-less images created by placing objects directly on photosensitive paper, transforming objects into pure light-shadow relationships. Veronesi favored combining painting, collage, and luminous images, achieving aesthetic results aligned with Moholy-Nagy, Fontana, Munari, and Le Parc.
