Orsi Arrigo
(Bologna, 1897 – Milano 1968)
Doctor, phthisiologist, unversity professor, starting from the middle of the 30’ies, Orsi devotes to photography with an empiric approach, based on which in many writings he theorizes the experiences of the technics and materials he studied and defined.
Even if the photography has been for him a passion to whom devote his free time, the results he achieved were not at all due and predictable. He achieved an extraordinary usage of the colour, using particular technics at that time almost unknown in Italy: the Kodak Dye transfer that Orsi had already started using in 1941.
Since 1949 he participates at the activities of the Circolo Fotografico Milanese.
In 1950 together with Piero De Blasi, Pietro Donzelli and Luigi Veronesi, he established the Unione Fotografica - Associazione Internazionale Manifestazioni Fotografiche of which he will be for many years the director.
Orsi is an independent figure still not so well known, a brilliant experimenter of printing technics, surprisingly careful to the themes linked to the composition and to the visual structure.
