Claude Nori - Vacances en Italie - 2018

ABSOLUTELY BRAND NEW - VERY RARE

The book heralding a happy summer!
Vacations in Italy! It is a powerful, joyful, eternal longing reinforced by films, songs and novels.
It is also a color where the sky and the sea blend together under a sun that warms our happy memories of travel, of meetings, of idleness or seaside loves.
This is now Claude Nori’s new book, one we’ve been waiting for since Un été Italien, his book that has been out of print for nearly twenty years.
There you will find his familiar images but also new color photographs accompanied by a narrative in which he recounts the unusually optimistic atmosphere of the 70s and 80s, as well as his approach and photobiographical method of which he was a pioneer.

Claude Nori established his reputation with photographs of the seashores, the sensuality of beautiful Italians, his art of framing to capture adolescent loves and the dynamism of youth, the thirst for happiness in which a hint of melancholy and creative nostalgia hides.

From 1982, I decided to photograph the Italian seaside, those places where I was happy with my parents but also those that were unknown to me, mythical destinations and cities with evocative names—Capri, Naples, Portofino, San Remo or Stromboli—about which songs had been written or which served as settings for films. I realized that the particular realm of the seaside, the activity on the beach in summer, really constituted a concentrated dose of Italian culture, a ritual through which its art of living expressed itself with the greatest force.

Claude Nori

Of Italian origin, Claude Nori, a photographer, writer and publisher, has since 1975 produced several autobiographical books whose main themes were Italy, love, adolescent nostalgia, and the fascination with neorealist films. His major exhibition at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in 2012 highlighted the importance of his authorial work through the photography book that he approaches as a unique space of creation, conducive to an original language between reality and fiction.
