Mario De Biasi retrospective at Galleria 70, Milan
Galleria 70 in Milan is hosting a retrospective titled 'Mario De Biasi. Vita d’artista' to mark the centenary of the photographer's birth in 2023. De Biasi (Belluno, 1923 – Milan, 2013) had a long career as both a photographer and an artist, using his camera to interpret the world and document key moments in Italian history and culture. The exhibition presents thirty-four vintage prints selected from his nature, reportage, and portrait work. The installation is fluid and continuous, avoiding thematic divisions to present his career as a unified whole. De Biasi once said in a 1971 interview that a dewdrop on grass, Etna's lava, or street shootings in Budapest were all equally significant to him, differing only in the danger involved. The show runs at Galleria 70 in Milan.
