Arkadiy Kurta - 'Magdalena della Piazza' (2016)

Black and white photography possesses a timeless quality which connects us to a rich history of photographic masters who used the medium to create iconic and enduring images. Without the distraction of colour, the essence of a subject is revealed, allowing a greater focus on its underlying emotional content and narrative. This abstraction invites us to project our own experiences and interpretations onto the images, fostering a deeper connection between the artwork and the viewer.

From the masterful compositions of Ansel Adams and the haunting portraits of Diane Arbus to the contemporary photographers of the present day, black and white photography continues to make an indelible mark on the art world. Its ability to transcend time and evoke a sense of nostalgia is unparalleled, making it a medium that remains relevant and captivating. Arkadiy Kurta's beautiful photographs are the natural heirs to this laudable tradition.
