Felice Casorati: The Father of Magical Realism
Felice Casorati (1883–1963) is one of Italy’s most influential 20th-century artists and a key figure in Italy’s “Return to Order” movement*, combining Realism with a neo-Renaissance composure.
Casorati’s distinctive style drew inspiration from the Symbolist tradition, the refined elegance of the "Viennese Secession" (particularly the works of Klimt and Kokoschka), and Cézanne’s art.
His artworks, with their geometric elegance, flattened perspectives, and the cold serenity of dreamlike poses, helped define the unique Italian movement of Magical Realism — where everything appears almost too real, to the point of becoming supernatural.
Beyond painting, Casorati was also a sculptor, architect, stage designer, and a dedicated explorer of applied arts.
*An artistic movement that emerged after World War I, as a reaction against avant-garde movements (especially Futurism).

Dorothea Lange: The Eye of Social Conscience
Dorothea Lange (1895–1965) changed the course of documentary photography through a profound empathy towards the people she portrayed.
At first, she wanted to be a portrait photographer and opened a photo atelier in San Francisco in the 1920s. But it was the Great Depression that truly defined her calling. Her photograph, White Angel Bread Line (1933), marked a turning point. The image soon became a symbol of collective suffering. From then on, Lange decided to use photography to give voice to the unseen. She followed migrant workers, displaced families, and rural poverty—capturing not only conditions, but the complex emotional terrain of survival.
In 1942, she bravely documented the forced relocation of Japanese Americans during WWII — a project the government would suppress for years.
Her iconic images helped to shape American consciousness, and her legacy remains inseparable from the very idea of socially engaged photography.
