Anton Giulio Bragaglia

Italian photographer, filmmaker and writer (1890-1960)

Anton Giulio Bragaglia is remembered for work the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Anton Giulio Bragaglia as Italian photographer, filmmaker and writer (1890-1960).

Anton Giulio Bragaglia was born at Frosinone in 1890. His recorded nationality is Italy.

Around the turn of the twentieth century the movements arrived in quick succession, each defining itself against the last.

He worked as film director, photographer and painter.

A painting outlives the argument about it, which is the only durable form of an artistic reputation.

That the work was made in Italy shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.

Anton Giulio Bragaglia died in 1960, aged 70. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
