Italy

A man whose artistic approach had been shaped by the European avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s, German-born photographer, art collector and aesthete Herbert List had a special affinity with Italy, and over a period of some forty years he visited the country time and time again. The impressions he recorded during his travels are a mosaic of past and present, art and life - a strange and haunting mixture of people, places and staged compositions in a style unmistakably his own. Beautifully printed in duotone, the book also includes an introductory essay by the renowned Italian author Luigi Malerba.
