Résumé / Abstract : In addition to having chronicled art and artists of the second half of the 20th century by documenting fifty years of exhibitions, art research, and major public events in Italy, Enrico Cattaneo (Milan, 1933-2019) developed a highly personal visual investigation on the modes, subjects, and materials of photography. These two facets of his activity, indissolubly linked like the two sides of a coin, are recomposed in the overall profile of an author capable of questioning the technical and conceptual foundations of photography. As he himself has written: 'The contemporary work of art is often made up of a tangible thing and an idea ? It is difficult to capture an idea on film.'
