The black and white imagery of Carla Cerati, photographer and writer, documents three decades of changes in our ways of living and our society. Her versatile sensibility offers a particular history in images of Italian reality. But it also ranges, always with great originality, from theatre to portraits, landscapes to female nudes.

About the Artist
Carla Cerati began her career as a literary translator from English and German. For the thirty years following 1962, she worked as a theatre photographer. In 1963 her work was the subject of a book of landscapes prefaced by Renato Guttuso. She photographed intellectuals in Milan and in Spain. In 1968 she published photos of Elio Vittorini, presented by Italo Calvino, and published a report on psychiatric hospices in 1969, in collaboration with the psychiatrist Franco Basaglia. She photographed the Living Theatre in 1970, the world of cocktails in 1974, and female nudes in 1978. In 1997 she revisited the Milan of the 1960s, and in 1998, the 1968 student and workers’ demonstrations. Her first novel dates from 1974 (Un amore fraternon). This was followed by Un matrimonio perfetto in 1975, which was remarkably successful and was published in the volume Una donna del nostro tempo, which contained two other stories of hers.
