One of the most underrated and one of the most interesting museums in Trieste, Magazzino delle Idee, is hosting Stanley Kubrick’s photography exhibit and it is a must-see.
Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999) worked as a photojournalist for Look magazine years before he became known as a filmmaker and the director of such classics as Dr. Strangelove (1964), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and A Clockwork Orange(1971).
Kubrick was born in 1928 in New York City and raised in the borough of The Bronx. As a young adult, he was less interested in formal education than in lessons learned in the real world. As a teenager with a photographic sensibility, Kubrick was already scouting human-interest stories for Look.
For a budding photographer like Kubrick, there was no better place to be at the time than New York City, home to Life and Look, America’s two leading pictorial magazines. Look’s Manhattan office became his college, its editors and his fellow photographers his professors, and New York City his field of study. Kubrick worked at the magazine for five years (1945–1950), during which he participated in the process of making art in a collaborative setting not unlike that of the film studios he would soon enter.
Stanley Kubrick needs little presentation and his photogrpahs speak for themsleves. You can see for yourself Tuesday- Sunday, 10 am – 7 pm.
