QuoteThe Italian photographer Penati had a distinguished career spanning six decades. He worked professionally for high-profile fashion magazines including Vogue, while cultivating his own fine art projects. These photographs show the personal side of Penati’s work. Depicting cherished subjects, including his muse Sandra Chace and his home in Piedmont, the pictures reveal private details about his life. The silhouette of the girl in profile references artistic traditions that pre-empt photography, particularly cut-paper portraits, which you can see examples of in these galleries.
