The Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art opens Nino Migliori Imagined Landscapes. The Places of Morandi, an exhibition on view 16 January – 7 April 2013, of delicately reworked Polaroid images by the renowned Italian photographer Nino Migliori.
Nino Migliori, ‘Imagined Landscapes’ – The Places of Morandi, 1985
Created during the mid 1980s, these works form a series entitled Imagined Landscapes: The Places of Morandi and explore the Grizzana landscape beloved by Morandi and immortalised in so many of his works. Best known for his black and white neo-realist images of life in 1950s Italy, these works reveal a different side to Migliori’s research in which the photograph is merely the starting point for an image that aspires not simply to document a moment in time or a specific location, but to express something of its emotional resonance.
