EDITORS COMMENTS
Self-Portrait from Another Century" is a captivating photographic masterpiece created by Raffaele Corte in 1914. This vintage self-portrait, now a part of the esteemed collection at 1x Gallery, transports us back in time to an era of innovation and artistic exploration. The image is captured through the lens of an old Kodak autographic camera, a testament to the technological advancements of the early 20th century. The photograph was taken using a bellows camera, a type of large format camera that requires the photographer to manually adjust the bellows to focus the image. This meticulous process adds to the unique character and authenticity of the photograph. In the self-portrait, Corte is seen gazing introspectively into a mirror, his reflection captured in the glass. The use of a mirror in self-portraiture was a common technique during this period, allowing the artist to observe and analyze their own features from multiple angles. The figurative representation of the artist's face is both personal and universal, inviting the viewer to connect with the human experience. The photograph is adorned with a plaque, adding an air of nostalgia and historical significance. The image's aged appearance, with its slight imperfections and fading colors, only adds to its charm and allure. This self-portrait is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve the essence of the human experience. "Self-Portrait from Another Century" is not only a stunning work of art in its own right but also a valuable historical artifact. It invites us to reflect on the evolution of photography and the human desire to document and explore the world around us.
