Stanley Kubrick 1945-50

The exhibit presents a hitherto little-known aspect of the American film-maker, revealing his approach to photography – one of the passions developed by Kubrick during the five-year period between 1945 and 1950 when he worked as a reporter for the renowned American Look magazine.
“That's how Stanley Kubrick came to take his first photographs, in the America of the immediate post-war years. His images are striking because they are not just a representation of an age, as one might expect from a news reporter. Indeed, as the exhibit curator points out, his snapshots – which are striking because of their surprising maturity – cannot be regarded as the visual archives of America's joie de vivre, captured by the spirit of alertness and good humour of a young man. Instead, they constitute a conscious invitation to consider the resources of the photographic medium, with its possibilities for representation and its own perception of reality: a constant feature of Kubrick's artistic work, which started with photography and continued in film-making”.

Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999), an American-born (naturalized British citizen) film director, photographer, film producer and film editor, is regarded as one of the top film-makers of the twentieth century. Kubrick earned this reputation, first and foremost, for having tackled with mastery almost every possible film genre, including historical films with “Spartacus”, psychological drama with “Eyes Wide Shut”, science fiction with “2001: A Space Odyssey”, war films with “Full Metal Jacket” and “Paths of Glory”, horror with “Shining”, thrillers with “The Killing”, science fiction satire with “Clockwork Orange” and political satire with “Dr. Strangelove”.
