Mario Giacomelli - A unique vision of his world

- THIS VIDEO: Mario Giacomelli always insisted that he wasn’t a photographer - he was more of an abstract expressionist who worked with the photographic medium. I think, the most inspiring thing about him and his work, is that given all the limitations that he faced, he was able forge a unique path for himself and he’s now regarded as one of Italy’s greatest photographers. Exhibition at museum MAXXI in Rome - it’s the national museum of contemporary art and architecture. They juxtaposed Giocomelli photographs with the paintings by Informal artist Alberto Burri. These two men had been friends for a long time and often grappled with similar ideas about reworking landscapes to appear abstract. It’s only when you put their work side by side that the strong parallels become obvious.

Thank you for showing the wonderful work of Giacomelli!
Delightful … thank you very much for presenting this story.
He is my hero.
He recognised the textures in everyday life.
Another amazing presentation of a visionary photographer, who not everyone is familiar with, but should be!
Very nice video. Thank you for sharing! ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Thank's for video about great photographer.
I've been a fan of Giacomelli's work since I first set my eyes on them. Thank you Graeme for sharing this.
Superb vid of a superb artist.
As always, a very interesting episode Graeme, thank you. I had seen the priest series previously but not the other more abstract work, so thank you for bringing it to our attention 🙏👍
Had not seen his work. Thank you
Thank You for another Wonderful video - Awesome photography
Giacomelli images are must see for anyone in the field of graphic design.
Another thoughtful and enlightening video. Thank you Graeme !
Thank You, Sir. This was a great video! Of a gentlemen who pursued his passion and his gift during his life time. I've seen his photos through out my life. Yet, knew very little about. With alll my heart I thank you for sharing this wonderful presentation of both his life and work with us all. God Bless you sir. Roger
Thanks so much Roger.
Thank you very much, amazing presentation!!
Thank you for introducing Mario! New to me and will take a deeper dive thanks to you. Cheers.
Thank you❤.
Thank you. Beautifully presented and great choice of music, I really enjoyed this. 🙏🏻
Bravo!
Wow! Graeme, I don’t know how you do it. Great short summary at the end. It is remarkable how often the trope of the early loss of a father, through death or desertion, crops up. In photography and philosophy… and probably other areas of achievement.
Yes, that's true. It seems that some psychic break opens up some avenues of expression...but at the same time closes down others.
Great episode. Thanks for turning me on Giacomelli. Now I need to find these books! 😅
Many thanks - I’ve learned something new - I always enjoy your films - short and to the point but also very informative and a gateway to further research.
I'd never describe myself as an abstract photographer, probably totally the opposite, but I do love Giacomelli's work. It is probably the expressionist side, the underlying atmosphere that draws me in. There is a true reflection of the artist in the work, rather than a 'pretension' of skilled manipulation - that sounds very arty. Maybe I should have left it 'I do love Giacomelli's work' !
Again, this vlog is a clear, short and well paced bio, thanks.
I think that is a good reading of his approach
Wonderful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent video and very inspiring. I especially liked the part where he "scratched in some trees" because he felt like it 🙂
Sometimes you have to hear that you can do anything you want with your art.
Yes, no rules
Really enjoying your videos Graeme. Choice of music and pacing are both entirely appropriate, augmenting the beautiful and inspiring content. Thanks, and do keep them coming.
I appreciate that John
TThank you for the lecture. This was a interesting video. I still have your lecture from the last week to watch
A very personal and enigmatic photographer...always had this man
in the back of my thoughts when shooting any high contrast scene!
That book is huge and now rare. (£100+) but the Figure/Ground book looks substantial and very reasonably priced.
Yes, I was lucky to get mine a long time ago.
Thanks for another great introduction to a terrific photographer whose work I did not know. Some of the high contrast work reminds me of the Japanese Provoke crew, while a few of his cut an paste images call to mind Roger Ballen.
Yes, I also thought of Roger Ballen
Excellent video Graeme, I have some catching up to do with your chanel 😊
You will be tested at the end of the year!!

Time for Ghirri?
Luigi will have to wait...but he is on the list!
