Rome, at Palazzo Merulana Isabella Rossellini in the shots of André Rau


It was 1981 when actress Isabella Rossellini and photographer André Rau met. Now, in Rome, Palazzo Merulana is hosting for the first time all together the photographs that Rau dedicated to Isabella Rossellini.

Palazzo Merulana in Rome, in synergy with Fondazione Elena and Claudio Cerasi and CoopCulture, is hosting until Nov. 13 the exhibition Isabella Rossellini by André Rau, curated by Vanessa Bikindou, in collaboration with Fondazione Festa del Cinema. It was 1981 when actress Isabella Rossellini and photographer André Rau first met: Isabella Rossellini by André Rau is a summary of the years of their collaboration, an artistic union that marked the turn of the century by characterizing it in its most aesthetic forms. Their relationship became symbolic of several photographic campaigns, such as Lancome or fashion shoots for German Vogue.

During that meeting, therefore, an artistic partnership based on friendship was formed, which initiated one of the most significant collaborations of modern times. All this is evidenced by the photos of the actress taken by Rau that demonstrate the trust between the two, but also the grace of Isabella Rossellini and the peculiar skill of the photographer.



When looking at the photos one thus notices the serenity and attunement of the professional who was able to capture with a single image the humanity of one of the most famous divas of the modern world. Thanks to the Isabella Rossellini by André Rau exhibition, for the first time it is possible to see these photographs all together, appreciating the change over the years that these have been able to emphasize.
