"I realized that what fascinated me was the instant photography. Photography is the art of the split second that reveals images and aspects of life become invisible to the eye "Lisette Model

What interests me is the surface. Because the surface is the interior. People always say that research in. Forget it. Everything is outside . Born in Vienna, but with a U.S. passport, poverty fought until the last moment of his life, despite being born into a wealthy bourgeois family. She married the Russian-born painter Evsa Model - who "stole" the name with which he became famous - and with him, he fled more than a Europe threatened by the Nazi tide. He was a painter and singer, before working as a photographer for celebrity magazines like Harper's Bazaar before and influence with its exceptional work in teaching a generation of photographers from the likes of Diane Arbus and Larry Fink. It is the beginning of a novel, is a short summary of existence (some fictional, of course) of an artist who swam on the surface of people, plunging into her like no other. The work of Lisette Model returns to Spain, after more than ten years, with this amazing exhibition that brings together his most famous photographic series, from the Promenade des Anglais -brilliant portrait of the wealthy and somewhat lazy society Coast Blue in the first thirties, the series Sammy's - gallery of snapshots taken at the famous local New York where the outcasts were guests of honor and art was eaten without a knife and fork through countless photos that bring to light immediately and without effort, the heart of New York, Reno, Las Vegas. Metropolitan hell then and now. If not for the dresses, shoes, makeup no time or brightness of stars and missing as Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong , Ella Fitzgerald, we are left with the feeling that these images have been taken before yesterday on any street in our city. Because the work of Lisette Model is a modern work in the purest sense of the word. It's aggressive, lively, original, provocative, deeply humane and revolutionary. Its taste and great passion for people hiding under their weight too great a soul. His attention and affection towards the poor, vagrants, transvestites, female faces that have lost its beauty but not attractive. In these snapshots, it is difficult to find young beautiful proof "art" and if there are single and share a moment fully disordered and very little "photo" of intense passion or fun. The Lisette Model world is not beautiful, but is alive and moves with strength, hope, dignity, passion and break the black and white Edward Steichen or Cecil Beaton (black and white unless had been a forced choice at that time would have been a provocation, by contrast with the "inelegance" genetics of their subjects), conceptual searching the color of the Beautiful Losers and graffiti. chamber Lisette Model feeds like a vampire, normal people and their flaws and celebrated as art usually refuses to do. Art puts everything in order, but be your own order. Lisette Model declines to do so and that your pictures are so intense and fun. If you expect the typical and soothing lyricism of many works of the last century, you have the wrong exposure. Model works are here and now and not stop talking about real life language the last century had not yet discovered. A unique event.
