Lisette Model captures a grotesque vision of postwar American society with her bold and ironic street photography

Published alongside a double solo show with Horst P. Horst at CAMERA - Centro Italiano per la Fotografia, this book presents a selection of over 100 images by Austrian photographer Lisette Model (1901-83). Model is known primarily as an influential teacher to notable 20th-century photographers such as Diane Arbus and Larry Fink, but her own work as a pioneering and irreverent street photographer reveals a unique and grotesque vision of humanity--the close-up shots, the use of flash, the exasperated contrasts all accentuate the imperfections of the bodies, the flashy clothes, the coarse gestures. There is no interaction between Model and her subjects, who tend to be caught suddenly, while they eat, sing or gesticulate awkwardly, transformed by her shots into the characters of an irreverent human comedy. This is the first Italian-language volume to be published on the artist.

About the Author
Model, Lisette: - Lisette Model was born in Vienna and spent several years in Paris before moving to New York in 1938. Three years later she began a twelve-year association with Harper's Bazaar as a freelance photographer. Starting in 1951, she also taught at the New School for Social Research and in private classes and workshops.Abbott, Berenice: - Berenice Abbott first established herself in commercial portraiture in Paris and later in New York. She not only created masterful bodies of work on the changing face of New York, scientific phenomena, Route 1, and Maine, but Abbott also invented photographic equipment, pioneered the teaching of photographic techniques, and was the first and most committed champion of the work of turn-of-the-century French photographer Eugène Atget.
