Giacomo Pozzi Bellini (Florence 1907 – Paris 1990) is known for his work as a cinematographer for the documentary “The cry of the old maids”, winner of the first prize at the Venice film festival in 1939.
The public is however less familiar with his performance as a photographer of life scene, portraits and of works of art too. This activity began in the mid-40s and shows the influence of the formal experiments of the contemporary avant-garde photography in Italy.
Some of the above pictures are very engaging for the instances in which they have been taken, that is during the dismantling of installations in churches and museums. This rare opportunity allowed the photographer to seize details that would otherwise be very hard to grasp.
