rome 1970's by photographer stephan brigidi
Opening reception and Book Release and Signing Thursday June 20th 5-9pm
Gallery Z is devoting the month of June to works from local, internationally known and world-collected artist-photographer, Stephan Brigidi‘s latest book, Rome 1970s. Stephan Brigidi will be signing this latest book at Gallery Z during his show’s opening reception on Thursday, June 20th, Gallery Night, from 5-9 P.M.
In the artist/author’s own words, “It was a remarkable time to witness first hand a period of turbulence and transition in Italian culture. It was a period, which the former laissez-faire practice could no longer work as a system. For the Italian people the spirit la dolce vita was over. It ended in 1978.” Former Prime Minister Aldo Moro was murdered; the Red Brigades terrorist group held the country hostage. Pope Paul VI’s successor, John Paul I died after 33 days, a suspected assassination. By a master of portraiture, these close-ups in the streets of Rome during the turbulent 70s convey the transformation of an old-world culture to a modern-day Italy.
-“To be Italian was to be resourceful and make do as one had to. This I knew well, but I too, was shaken by the external events on the streets. The Italian world was changing, a bit out of control. Life would go on and without a map. Here are my prints.”- Stephan Brigidi
