‘Chromotherapia. Feel-Good Color Photography’ offers genuine relief from a black-and-white world. Often underrated and not always taken seriously, color photography has nevertheless allowed artists to wield their palettes and “paint.” Many of them freed themselves from the documentary status of the medium to explore the common roots of image and imagination, flirting with the worlds of Surrealism and Pop Art. The renowned Italian visual artist and curator Maurizio Cattelan and the curator Sam Stourdzé propose a rereading of the history of color photography from the 20th to the 21st century, through the works of more than 19 artists who accompany us into vibrant, tangy worlds. Treat yourself to a journey through sunny yellow, brilliant blue, intense red, lively orange and much more, straight from the lenses of the greatest names in color photography. Artists included: Madame Yevonde, Harold Edgerton, Erwin Blumenfeld, Walter Chandoha, William Wegman, Hiro, Guy Bourdin, Alex Prager, Juno Calypso, Adrienne Raquel, Miles Aldridge, Ouka Leele, Hassan Hajjaj, Ruth Ossai, Pierre et Gilles, Sandy Skoglund, Martin Parr, Arnold Odermatt, ‘Toiletpaper’.
