Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a woman in a dramatic red ruffled dress, seated on an ornate, gilded chair against a floral-patterned background. The bold, vibrant color of the dress and the woman's striking blonde hair create a visually striking composition. The overall style appears to be a vintage photographic portrait, highlighting the subject's emotive gaze and capturing a sense of glamour and theatricality. This image likely reflects the artist's exploration of feminine identity, self-expression, and the role of women in popular culture during a particular historical period. ...

Lisetta Carmi
Artist
Lisetta Carmi
B.1924, Italian

Lisetta Carmi was a photographer and photojournalist who created deeply insightful portraits of marginalised communities and crafted surrealist tableaux of cityscapes. Born in 1924 into a Jewish family in Genoa, Carmi experienced extreme prejudice as a child, being forced to leave school at the age of 14 due to the introduction of racial laws brought about by the Italian Fascist regime. In the early 1960s, by chance Carmi was leant a camera by a friend and immediately fell in love with photography. Peers commended her innate talent for capturing light and extracting the theatrical elements of everyday environments. Early studies of the streets of Genoa echoed the playful, inquisitive eye of photographers such as Dora Maar, Eugène Atget or Cartier-Bresson. Carmi is best known for her photobook, I Travestiti (Transvestives), which documents the interior and exterior lives of transgender women in Genoa who Carmi photographed between 1965-1970. Through embedding herself within this community, the series captures intimate portraits and free flowing, dynamic scenes of these women laughing, dancing, or posing together. Through images that appreciate the women in the same way we would classical figures in Rococo or Renaissance paintings, an immense respect is given to her subjects. Contemporary parallels of Carmi’s would be photographers such as Letizia Battaglia, Nan Goldin, or Diane Arbus. ...
