Nostalgia di un negativo
E' una nostalgia reale per me che i primi scatti li ho fatti alla fine degli anni 50 del secolo scorso. Leggere correttamente un negativo in controluce o con un visore prima di arrivare ai provini o alle stampe definitive era un passo fondamentale di un percorso a dir poco affascinante. Ogni tanto mi piace riguardare qualche vecchio negativo visto che in qualche cassetto ci sono ancora quasi tutti.
Di sicuro, ci sarà sempre chi guarderà solo la tecnica e si chiederà “come”, mentre altri di natura più curiosa si chiederanno “perché”.

Two visitors stand in quiet contemplation before Robert Delaunay’s The Eiffel Tower and the Champ de Mars Gardens at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. Painted in Delaunay’s signature Orphist style, the piece bursts with vibrant greens, yellows, and earthy browns, capturing the dynamism and energy of early 20th-century Paris. Delaunay’s fascination with light and movement is evident in the sweeping curves and intersecting lines that echo the rhythmic pulse of the city and its iconic monument.
One visitor gestures animatedly toward the painting, perhaps highlighting Delaunay’s pioneering use of color theory to express the Eiffel Tower’s dynamic presence against the lush gardens below. The other visitor listens, umbrella in hand, fully engaged in this shared moment of artistic discovery. Their shadows stretch across the minimalist, polished gallery floor, grounding the scene in a human connection to art that transcends time and place.
The painting itself—a geometric tapestry of intersecting planes and bold shapes—epitomizes Delaunay’s revolutionary approach to abstraction, where color and form dance together to evoke the essence of modern life. Through this lens, the Eiffel Tower is not just an architectural marvel but a symbol of human ingenuity and the spirit of innovation that defined Paris in the early 1900s.
As a highlight of the Hirshhorn’s modern collection, Delaunay’s masterpiece invites visitors to reflect on the interplay of structure, color, and imagination. It serves as a testament to the museum’s dedication to fostering conversations around art’s ability to capture and transform our perceptions of the world.
