museoalinarisenoAn original illustrations that, through the images of the greatest masters of contemporary photography, brings out the beauty of the breast and the female body without leaving any point of view.
From the look of delicate irony Erwitt and Cartier-Bresson to the ruthlessness of the fashion photographs of Newton; the formal search of images of Brandt, and Kertész Schatzberg to taste surrealist photomontages by Marcel Marien. From images of Doisneau and Suquet, indelible evidence of the fascination that the female breast has always exercised the imaginary men and the use which has made the advertising until the suggestiveness of the shots of Suter and interpretation of the breast that gave the women themselves, from Arbus to Matushka.
The exhibition was conceived not only as a message to women, but as a moment of reflection on one of the symbols on the imaginary femininity, will therefore be primarily an opportunity for visitors to immerse themselves in a unique aesthetic experience entirely female, not foreign to a reflection on the darker side of femininity, that of the disease, always seen in terms of positive awareness and prevention.
Curated by breast specialist trained humanist Alfonso Pluchinotta, the exhibition will be photographs of about one hundred twenty and will be accompanied by its catalog, where the evocative power of images is the complement of excerpts from literature and essays by the most credible.

The suggestions of artistic photography related to the collective image of the breast in a cultural journey in search of its uniqueness, aesthetic and psychological: the object is within the subject within the various individual and social contexts. An original theme and great social impact, by an event of high artistic depth that will not fail to create strong appeal.
