ABOUT THE WORK


Italian photographer Enzo Ragazzini bridged the creative languages of optical photography and photographic reportage. Associated with the Op art movement, he had his first exhibition in 1965 at the Einaudi Bookstore in Rome, in conjunction with the exhibition “The Responsive Eye” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1963, he exhibited his first work separating color tones, a technique that had parallels in Pop art, at the Triennale Milano. After moving to London, he started working in documentary photography, and in 1970, he photographed the last Isle of Wight Festival prior to its revival in 2002. Among his most important projects is “The Tropics Before the Engine,” commissioned by the Italian vehicle company Iveco, which in 1988 was the subject of an exhibition at the International Center of Photography, curated by Cornell Capa.
