Mimmo Jodice

Mimmo Jodice (Naples, 1934 - 2025) was one of the leading figures in European photography of the second half of the twentieth century. His artistic formation took shape within the climate of the Neapolitan avant-garde of the 1960s, a period in which he engaged in dialogue with some of the key figures of international contemporary art, including Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, and Jannis Kounellis.

Beginning in the 1970s, he developed a personal body of research centered on the relationship between landscape, memory, and time, building a rigorously black-and-white photographic language that探ines the historical dimension of places and forms. His work helped redefine the way the Mediterranean and its cultural stratifications have been represented.

His photographs have been exhibited at major international institutions including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Among the honors he received is the prestigious Premio Feltrinelli per la Fotografia, awarded by the Accademia dei Lincei.
