Annie Leibovitz

Art & Expression: Annie Leibovitz

The protagonist of Art & Expression of this month is one of my favourite photographers. Carful look, big eyeglasses and camera in hand. This is what I see when I look at Annie Leibovitz. With her Woody Allen woman face, she is considered, rigthly, the greatest photographer of our time. Her works revolutionized the concept of photo, proposing a new way to conceive the portait, telling the mood of the subject, the look behind him. 

In 40 years of carreer she photographeed everything and everyone, trying to focus on her idea, playing with the subject, drawing a frame, an artifact panorama that, in the end, looks almost more real that the picture. Her style is unique and recognizable: it has a story, a thought, it follows a specific path. Annie Leibovitz is a character, a trademark, non just a picture, with a huge a visual talent, capacity of invention and innovation, a big mania and self-awaraness. She han an intense personality that transpires in her works; in her pictures, in fact, is possible to see all her world: music, art, fashion and fantasy.

Surrealism is the new fashion...

When the reality where we live is more and more complicated, stressful and devoid of color, the only possible refuge is an alternative and fantastic world, made of dream and illusion, where you can free your thoughts and come into contact with your subconcious. This is the concept on which is based the artistic mouvement of Surrealism, doubly tied with fashion since its inception. It's impossibile to not think to Elsa Schiapparelli and her creations, like the "music" dress or the the "shoe" hat, emblems of the binomial art-fashion.

Salvador Dalì, Joan Mirò and René Magritte, leaders of this mouvment, are able to regain, through their artworks, the sense of beauty and today they're celebrated by brand like Moschino Cheap & Chic, Diane von Furstenberg and Charlotte Olympia.
