Bragaglia Brothers

Around 1910, Anton Giulio Bragaglia (1890-1960) and his brother Arturo (1893-1962), began taking photographs against black backgrounds in hopes of capturing continuous movement. Their photographs reveal a fluid and continuous dynamic flow of movement - hence the Italian name 'Fotodinamismo' ('photodynamism'). A few years later the brothers came into contact with the Italian Futurist painters (Giacomo Balla, Boccioni and Russolo) who were experimenting with how to represent movement in painting at the same time. In 1913, Anton published Fotodinamismo Futurista which captured the dynamism of movement rather than a single moment.

Perfectly Placed.

The below reminds me a little of scenes from Everything is Illuminated (one of our favorite films) and his wall of collections. Last year at Brimfield , I started collecting similar farm/kitchen tools to display in a friend's kitchen. You can create such beautiful compositions and patterns with their lines and shapes. Ettore has done this to perfection.

"Ettore Guatelli ploughed a singular furrow, spending his life gathering tools from Italy's agricultural past and turning his home, near Parma, into a museum of artfully arranged rural artifacts."
