M77 Gallery presents an exhibition focusing on the experimental work conducted from the 1950s to the 1970s by Nino Migliori (born in Bologna, 1926), one of the great masters of 20th-century European photography.
“Time, light and motifs” covers thirty years of Migliori’s work, highlighting the developments and many innovations that, from the start of his career, have accompanied a photographic technique based on an impassioned narrative of human sensitivity.
The exhibition takes the form of a sort of circular voyage through three “series” of works by the photographer: his earliest avant-garde experiments of the 1950s, his advanced work of the 1970s, and the depiction of 1950s Italy, when the country was in the throes of the post-war renaissance, in Emilia Romagna (portrayed by the series “people of Emilia”) and in the smallest villages of the remotest southern regions (“People of the South”).
The show will be accompanied by a publication with a text by Michele Bonuomo, and it will be open to the public from Tuesday 17 October 2017 until Saturday 27 January 2018.
