Dominique Schnapper : Photography and Painting.
A survey of the Bologna photographic club can be made at two levels. At the conscious level, the photographers are artists, rejecting any extra-aesthetic function in photography and accepting only the beautiful as their guide. Their aesthetic justifications seem to form a coherent whole. However, the author notes a certain lack of coordination between the works presented and the justification given, and suggests another interpretation of these activities. The photographers are members of the lower middle class who have become rich in the course of the town's recent rapid economic progress, and wish to escape from the burden of Bolognese society in which painting, the art par excellence, is the prerogative of the traditional ruling class. Thus they recreate, without knowing or wanting it, the shrines of the followers of art for art's sake, for, like them, they condemn the Philistine middle class in the name of art without accompanying their condemnation by a social revolt.
