The project of Palazzo Beltrani, with the exception of the exhibitions held in his native Lucera, it is the first exhibition that pays homage to Giuseppe Cavalli in Puglia after 41 years.
Giuseppe Cavalli is a prestigious artist and acute leading critic of the Italian post-war period, leader of the high-key school (an expression used in photography as a synonym for high tones to indicate the character of the photos which mostly present very light tones, close to white, source Treccani) and cultural promoter with other protagonists of his time. Through the pages of the magazine Ferrania he contributed to elevating this art, also with the volume “8 Italian photographers today” and the promotion of the La Bussola movement alongside his talented colleagues Finazzi and Leiss, Lerder and Veronesi. With a collection of over eighty works, the exhibition aims to retrace the fundamental stages of his artistic experience between photographic production and witty criticism.
With the entrance ticket to the exhibition it will also be possible to visit the collections kept in Palazzo Beltrani and the “Ivo Scaringi” art gallery.
