The Colour Years 1972-2002

At the start of the 1970s, Cuchi White engaged herself in the systematic exploration of trompe l’oeil, and definitely adopted colour. She created a vast panorama of painted artworks on street walls, churches, or palaces, from the Italian of fondali – these back of courtyards ornate with false perspectives – to all forms of urban art, preempting the fashion of the ‘street art’. The photographer developed large series around museums, palaces, villas, and gardens, from cities’ architecture to boat-shaped houses.
She invented a new esthetic research around the arts, considered at the time as minor by her photographer colleagues.
