 Italy
Through a Different Lens – Dick
Arentz spent 35 years exposing film through the bellows of
large format view cameras. He printed his images using the
19th century process of platinum and palladium printing, for
which he is the recognized master. His books include Platinum & Palladium
Printing, 1st and 2nd editions, as well as Nazraeli publications
of The Grand Tour and The British Isles.
Now with Italy Through Another Lens he has moved to the 21st
century, using the latest technology. His impressions of Italy
are indeed, “Though a Different Lens”. He presents
a series of images of an Italy not generally seen by Italians
or visitors, and which, framed by his unerring eye, radiate
with the rich, haunting beauty of Italy. From the Italo-Albanese
hill towns in Sicily and Calabria to the little known canals
of Milano, the images in this monograph comprise homage to
Italy by an artist whose vision has been honed through the
decades.
Published by Nazraeli Press, 2010. 77 pages with 43 duotone

by Anna M. Marco.
