impossible, for example, to remain passive in the Ernest Hemingway photographs taken during his stay at the Finca Vihya in Cuba, or in front of a portrait of Greta Garbo photographer snatched on the streets of New York. She is lost in thought, her face almost hides hat-bell. Photo of a young Richard Avedon, correct dress model Dorian Lieg, says the same thing.

Pictures capture the viewer and place it as it were in the center of events, next to the hero image, attaching it to what what he does. All this is beyond the scope of officialdom, familiar to the public at the time (though of it, even today, not all are willing to give up when it comes to the publication in the press).

Inge Shental comes very close to photographed, but always with respect, she is under the influence of their charm, but her work has always felt an interest, a desire to get to the bottom, which always go beyond the usual portraits. This show its ability to establish a special relationship, subtle connections and the ability to manifest this is still in its publishing activities.

After meeting her future husband, Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, Inge Shental left picture and went the other way. She started publishing and changed the profession, but remained true to his views, with the special role of illustrations and photos, the little pieces of the puzzle that make up the sometimes whole life of man, his friendships and family ties, unique moments of life.

Each photograph presented in the exhibition, is an indication of important meetings. Some of them later developed into a personal friendship. Each shot - a piece of the mosaic of collective history, written and its heroes, too.
