SORRISO A SORPRESA! FOTO D'ARTE DI DARIO ZUCCHI

Visitiamo insieme all'artista la mostra fotografica di Dario Zucchi al Strathmore Music Center il 27 aprile dalle 12 alle 1 pm. Mariti, partner e amici/amiche sono benvenuti.

L'artista stesso Dario Zucchi ci illustrerà le sue opere esposte al Strathmore Music Center di North Bethesda. La mostra è curata da Eric Denker, senior lecturer e head of tours and lectures alla National Gallery of Art. 

Dario Zucchi coglie l'equilibrio tra vita e arte. Le sue fotografie catturano spettatori in contemplazione di opere d'arte che, inconsapevolmente, condividono elementi visivi con l'opera stessa. Elementi di colore, linee, forme, e luce connettono e fondono l'opera d'arte e lo spettatore ritratto creando un effetto originale e unico che Dario Zucchi spera ci faccia sorridere e divertire!

About the artist, Dario Zucchi – Dario Zucchi was born in Milan, Italy in 1938. After earning his degree in economics at the Universita’ Bocconi in Milan, he worked in international real estate development and investment in Italy, Switzerland, Canada, and Mexico. In 1979 he moved to the United States where he is still professionally active in the Washington DC area.

During the past twenty-five years, he has developed his talents as a photographer, exploring both the natural world and the world of museum and gallery visitors. From 2000 until 2009 his work was regularly shown in group exhibitions in the Washington regional area. In 2010 Zucchi achieved notable successes in large scale exhibitions including I Fratelli Zucchi, shown at the Arts Club of Washington, and in the ArtconFusion show at the Antico Oratorio della Passione at the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio in Milan. These early successes led to major retrospective shows in Italy, in the 2012 and in Pisa, Tuscany in 2014, both accompanied by fully-illustrated catalogues. In 2013, Zucchi also had one-person shows at the Embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C and in the village of Teguise on Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. In 2015 Zucchi returned to the Arts Club in Washington with The Eye of the Beholder. In 2017, Dario had another extensive retrospective in Italy at the prestigious Villa Giulia, in Verbania, Lombardy, and in 2018 he showed sixty photographs in the exhibition The Unexpected Smile at The Mansion at Strathmore, in North Bethesda, Maryland. In addition, sixty-seven of Zucchi’s photographs were exhibited at Georgetown University Hospital’s Lombardi Center from 2019 through 2021. For the last four years, twenty-two of his most significant photographs have been on long-term loan to the Comcast Member’s Lounge at the Strathmore Music Center in Rockville. In addition, in the last three years Dario has had one-person shows at The Cosmos Club in Washington, and at the Stanford in Washington Art Gallery. Zucchi is the subject of two substantial monographs, the 2018 Dario Zucchi at 80 and the 2021 Dario Zucchi at 80+3.
