Exhibition - Between Surrealism and Neo-Realism 

Herbert List 

Between Surrealism and Neo-Realism: photography of the Mediterranean and Rome from 1936 to 1961

Herbert List had a special affinity thoughout his life with Italy, as well as Greece. The impressions of the Mediterranean that List recorded during his travels are a mosaic of past and present, art and life. An eclectic mixture of people, places and compositions that are unmistakably his own. Surreal stills and sun drenched beaches mingle with Roman city views and Neapolitanian street scenes. This selection of images creates a journey of styles: From the surreal avantgarde of the 1930 to the Neo-Realism...
