This book, published alongside a dual exhibition with Horst P. Horst at CAMERA - Centro Italiano per la Fotografia, showcases over 100 images by Austrian photographer Lisette Model (1901-83). Known as a significant influence on 20th-century photographers like Diane Arbus and Larry Fink, Model's own work as a groundbreaking street photographer presents a grotesque yet insightful vision of humanity. Her close-up shots, use of flash, and stark contrasts highlight human imperfections, flashy clothing, and awkward gestures, creating an irreverent human comedy. This is the first Italian-language volume dedicated to Model's art.
