Ugo Mulas is born on August 28, 1928 in Pozzolengo, in the province of Brescia. In 1948 after graduating from a classical lyceum he moves to Milan where he works as a tutor so that he can support himself while studying Law. Between 1951 and 1952 he enrolls in an evening course on nude drawing at Brera Academy and starts spending time at Bar Jamaica, the haunt of intellectuals and artists. After completing his studies he chooses not to get a university degree “because I was afraid I would be forever influenced […] I preferred to risk failing, becoming a misfit, someone without an occupation.”
Postwar Milan, the city’s outskirts, Bar Jamaica, and the waiting rooms at the Central Train Station where the homeless find shelter are the locations in Ugo Mulas’s early photos.
Neorealism corresponds to the photographer’s ideological and human position. Nonetheless, these first images capture “the small and significant gestures of photography more than of the setting, they are metaphorical of the act and statute of photography rather than realistic and descriptive.” In 1954 he produces his first official reportage at the Venice Biennale: “My official activity as a photographer began with the 1954 Venice Biennale; at the time, I had neither practice, nor any sort of art. I had left Milan with Mario Dondero for no specific reason except for my desire to approach this world in a more participative way.”
In Tommaso Trini’s words: “With his first reportage photography at the 1954 Venice Biennale he immediately identified his preferential relationship with art, which he never neglected in spite of the growing and more profitable success that would also allow him to work in the fields of fashion, advertising, and theater; he established the scene of long periods of time spent in that city; indeed it was in Venice in the summer of 1972 that he took his last photos. He was not so much drawn to the art objects as to the characters, the people, the sense of the event. Mulas was the photojournalist who brought to life the actors and settings of the Biennale, portraying them as though they were on a stage.”

Untitled, MT Inv. No 3-8-236 – Miroslav Tichy, Woman, Czech, Photography

Miroslav Tichý (*1926, Czech Republic)
Untitled, MT Inv. No 3-8-236
Unknown, ca. 1970-1990
Silver Gelatin Print

Tichý, practically reinventing photography from scratch, reconstitutes pictorialism along with it, and not as a distortion of the medium but as something like its essence. What counts for him is not only the image - just one moment in the photographic process - but also the chemical activity of the materials, which is never entirely stable or complete, and the delimitation of the results via cropping and framing.
Marginal and exceptionally voyeuristic, in his methods Tichý could be described as an “art brut photographer” yet he is also marked by classical influences. Though his images are produced with poor-quality equipment and carelessly shot, they offer an idiosyncratic and almost hallucinatory vision of a fantastical, eroticised reality. With his endless return to the same subject and the volume and regularity of his production, Tichý’s work draws many parallels to certain practices of conceptual art during the same period.
