Product Information
Dream of Venice in Black and White reveals Venice as a narrative in chiaroscuro. Over 50 photographers from 10 countries have documented the city to create a visual legacy of elegant realism in light and shadow. The acclaimed Italian author Tiziano Scarpa contributes a poignant reflection of his life as a Venetian, experiencing "perpetual change." His eloquent and candid Introduction exposes the complex issues that threaten the survival of Venice. Venice has had the audacity to exist as a living city for over 1,500 years. But for how much longer? Dream of Venice in Black and White is dedicated to Gianni Berengo Gardin. His photographs, both captivating and controversial, have become intrinsic to Italy's collective conscious. A portion of the proceeds from each book will be donated to the Ikona Photo Gallery, located in Venice's Ghetto Nuovo.

"The colorful kaleidoscope that is Venice is dramatically transformed through the artistic lenses of 56 photographers - whose work you will find in editor JoAnn Locktov's third book in the Dream of Venice series: Dream of Venice in Black and White . From 10 different countries and each with a unique perspective of Venice, the photographers skillfully lay bare the soul of La Serenissima in a masterful work of chiaroscuro - strongly contrasting light and dark to render an unforgettable glimpse into the magical city that rises from the sea. The elegant black and white perspectives reveal an emotionally charged timelessness that lies in the shadows of the Venice of postcard fame with its many colors and brightness." --Carmen Natschke, The Decorating Diva, "The beauty of Venice could not exist without the unwavering love of those who live and work here. This book captures with magnificent images and passionate words the spirit of a dream that the world should not take for granted." --Shaul Bassi, Director, International Center for the Humanities and Social Changes at Ca' Foscari University of Venice, An enchanted Venice, in black and white, like a dream. But this is really the authentic Venice, a dream-reality that we must love and defend. -- Salvatore Settis, author, If Venice Dies|9780990772521|, "What deeply mysterious and evocative images. Let them transport you across all the borders of memory. They reveal the heart of Venice's power: timelessness." --Frances Mayes, author, Women in Sunlight, "We are as / in autumn / on trees / the leaves", recites one of the most famous compositions of an Italian soldier-poet, Giuseppe Ungaretti, who wrote this very brief and poignant poem inside his trench, in 1918, towards the end of World War I. A sort of precious western haiku that perfectly renders the sense of temporariness and the transient feeling that prevails in the Venice of the third millennium, so masterly described in this book by Tiziano Scarpa. Images counteract words and fully reflect the scenic complexity of a city that was a photograph before the invention of the darkroom and cinema before the cinema; a city that is painting, music and writing at the same time. Dream of Venice in Black and White returns the beauty of the gesture, the landscape, the water and the stone, the delight and cross of a city that paradoxically risks dying." --Alberto Toso Fei, author, Mysteries of Venice, "This vision of Venice comes from a Venetian returning to his homeland. Acclaimed writer Tiziano Scarpa sees his city afresh, with wistfulness but also with the love of someone who's crossed more than a lagoon to come back. In striving to be fair, he swims between conflicting currents of opinion about the fate facing the city. Expect a very Venetian fluidity, drifting between different visions of black and white. Like the light washing over the lagoon, maybe the future is silvery-grey." -- Lisa Gerard-Sharp , author and travel journalist, "JoAnn Locktov's latest editorial outing, the third in her Dream of Venice series, is the best yet. Who else would intuit that a city famous for its dazzling color would reveal new secrets if contributing photographers were asked to strip their palettes down to a spare black and white? The book begins with a justly famous image entitled "In a vaporetto" by Gianni Berengo Gardin--the only photo I know which fully embodies the actual feel of a Venetian vaporetto ride with its brief, serendipitous opportunities to study human character. Right after this comes an extremely original and insightful essay by Tiziano Scarpa. The book offers iconic scenes rendered with visionary effect. For instance, two images, one of the Piazza San Marco resting under aqua alta, by Matteo Chinellato (p. 23), and a second of gondolas in the middle distance, by Fabio Bressanello (p. 89), demonstrate how artistic genius can transform common sights rendered with sharp-edged realism into mysterious dream worlds. For anyone who loves Venice or wants to learn more about her, this is a treat not to be missed." -- Dial Parrott , author, The Genius of Venice, "An enchanted Venice, in black and white, like a dream. But this is really the authentic Venice, a dream-reality that we must love and defend." -- Salvatore Settis , author, If Venice Dies, "Is this book a decorous black-edged invitation to a funeral? Yet there's proof of life in the provocative introduction by Tiziano Scarpa, delivering a vigorous lesson in how to see. By virtue of numbers, Venice seems to have chosen tourists as her true inhabitants. That's how she survives. Yet tourism is also what bullies her with continuous interruption, subtraction, dilution, pollution, overlay. As Scarpa suggests, leaf through this book to walk lightly on the stones of Venice. She almost cannot bear anything else." --Michelle Lovric, author, The Book of Human Skin, "Is this book a decorous black-edged invitation to a funeral? Yet there's proof of life in the provocative introduction by Tiziano Scarpa, delivering a vigorous lesson in how to see. By virtue of numbers, Venice seems to have chosen tourists as her true inhabitants. That's how she survives. Yet tourism is also what bullies her with continuous interruption, subtraction, dilution, pollution, overlay. As Scarpa suggests, leaf through this book to walk lightly on the stones of Venice. She almost cannot bear anything else." -- Michelle Lovric , author, The Book of Human Skin, "Venice is one of the world's most written about cities, with its own thesaurus of clichés, and if it's hard for authors to find a new angle on the place it is equally difficult for photographers. 'The Dream of Venice' series however captures the city in fresh and even surprising detail; with images of intricately water-stained buildings, of children paddling in a flooded San Marco, of light and shadow playing under a tiny bridge that will speak to anyone who's spent time wandering away from the tourist tracks of Venice. But there's also a quietly polemic subtext to this series, as editor JoAnn Locktov aims to remind her readers that Venice is a real place--where people work, play, and raise families; and that it is now fighting for its survival against the threats of civic corruption, climate change and the unchecked numbers of visitors who are driving out the local population. The third volume, published this Autumn, contains an essay by the Venetian writer Tiziano Scarpa who sounds a stricken note of warning as he points out that 'Venice has had the audacity to exist as a living city for over 1,500 years' and asks 'how much longer' it will be allowed to continue." --Judith Mackrell, www.waterstones.com/, "An enchanted Venice, in black and white, like a dream. But this is really the authentic Venice, a dream-reality that we must love and defend." --Salvatore Settis, author, If Venice Dies, "With her third book on her favorite Italian landscape, JoAnn Locktov focuses on a number of missions. First, she's out to save Venice from the tourism and cruise ships that threaten the city and its culture. "Venice is a city in deep, deep trouble," she says. "There are mass tourism and sea monsters taking over the lagoon." The city is losing about 1,000 residents a year, with its permanent population dropping to just 53,000. Homes are being rented to a rotating base of tourists, and support services--bakeries, butcher shops, and hardware stores--can no longer survive. "I'm not sure it's going to make it," she says. "The current administration is hell-bent on turning it into a theme park." To articulate her point of view in Dreaming of Venice in Black and White , she recruited award-winning author, Venetian native and longtime resident Tiziano Scarpa to write its introduction. "We are dying out," he writes. "Soon we will disappear. The city prefers to be inhabited by someone else: not so much by other categories of human beings but by another way of being in the world." Editor Locktov had other goals, too, in mind when she developed this elegant little tome. There are also the talented visionaries who contributed its rich imagery. "I wanted to amplify their work--especially in North America. That's a big piece of it--the creatives I chose to work with deserve attention and respect." Then there's the Ikona Photo Gallery, founded by Ziva Kraus and located in Venice's Ghetto Nuovo. A portion of the new book's profits will go to her. "She's been in Venice for 40 years and she's dedicated to Venice," she says. "I want people to go there and be aware of her gallery." But it's the political future of the city on the lagoon that's her chief concern. "The agenda of the administration is not what the small population wants," she says. "It wants a very different situation." Thus her newest book--and the push toward public consciousness-raising. --Mike Welton, architectsandartisans.com/, "What deeply mysterious and evocative images. Let them transport you across all the borders of memory. They reveal the heart of Venice's power: timelessness." -- Frances Mayes , author, Women in Sunlight, "This is a remarkable collection of images, a panorama of what is extraordinary about Venice together with the reality of ordinary day-to-day existence. The black and white format adds clarity to why we are all working so hard to defend and protect the life of the city and the lagoon." --Jane da Mosto, co-founder & executive director of We Are Here Venice, "This vision of Venice comes from a Venetian returning to his homeland. Acclaimed writer Tiziano Scarpa sees his city afresh, with wistfulness but also with the love of someone who's crossed more than a lagoon to come back. In striving to be fair, he swims between conflicting currents of opinion about the fate facing the city. Expect a very Venetian fluidity, drifting between different visions of black and white. Like the light washing over the lagoon, maybe the future is silvery-grey." --Lisa Gerard-Sharp, author and travel journalist, "The best book about true Venetian's Venice. A love's call. A war cry. A righteous tribute to a City that fights to be alive. Look at these pictures. They're the first step to become a Venetian. Because Venice is not a mere place: it's a state of the soul." --PierAlvise Zorzi, Venetian Patrician from a long line of Venice's defenders, journalist, author, writer, "This remarkable anthology, thanks to the wintery season, the tones of black and white and the virtual absence of tourists, offers us the romantic melancholy, the poetry of reflections and the beauty of light that are the magic of Venice." --Philip Rylands, Director Emeritus, Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, "The beauty of Venice could not exist without the unwavering love of those who live and work here. This book captures with magnificent images and passionate words the spirit of a dream that the world should not take for granted." --Shaul Bassi, Ca'Foscari University of Venice, "JoAnn Locktov's latest editorial outing, the third in her Dream of Venice series, is the best yet.

This book captures with magnificent images and passionate words the spirit of a dream that the world should not take for granted." -- Shaul Bassi , Ca'Foscari University of Venice, "The colorful kaleidoscope that is Venice is dramatically transformed through the artistic lenses of 56 photographers - whose work you will find in editor JoAnn Locktov's third book in the Dream of Venice series: Dream of Venice in Black and White . From 10 different countries and each with a unique perspective of Venice, the photographers skillfully lay bare the soul of La Serenissima in a masterful work of chiaroscuro - strongly contrasting light and dark to render an unforgettable glimpse into the magical city that rises from the sea. The elegant black and white perspectives reveal an emotionally charged timelessness that lies in the shadows of the Venice of postcard fame with its many colors and brightness. Venice is unique in that it is a city captured in a snapshot in time - architecturally it holds on to its past with magnificent palazzos lined along canals with views of floating regattas of vaporettos and gondolas moving to and fro, and more modest homes and buildings tucked behind and connected by myriad bridges over smaller canals. While the architecture remains barely touched by the present, her people have moved on with the decades and centuries. It seems nearly inconceivable to the casual observer - that a city that at any given time is bursting at the seams with crowds could be facing a future in which those living in the historical center of the city have become the minority. Now home to about 53,000 full-time residents, the Venetian population continues to dwindle and may be in danger of falling further. Acclaimed author and Venetian resident, Tiziano Scarpa writes in the book's introduction. "We are dying out," and "soon we will disappear. " The alluring siren's call of Venice has brought millions of tourists to her enchanted shores for decades. Now those who come to see the legendary city outnumber those who live there. Venice finds itself being overrun by tourism, yet without the tourism it may also die. Tourism has become the economic blood of this once great maritime city renowned as an important center of commerce. As a tourist, with dreams of some day living in Venice for a portion of the year, I understand the desire felt by those who've fallen in love with Venice and want to visit, explore and learn. I certainly can understand the economic realities of Venetians who depend on tourism. And I also realize that with the tourism an imbalance is occurring that threatens not only the fragile ecosystem of the Venetian Lagoon, but the way of life for many Venetians (even those dependent on tourism monies). Much like those black and white photos in Dream of Venice in Black and White , there is a stark contrast between the façade of architectural gems shining brightly along the canals joined by bridges over the 118 Venetian Islands that draws the tourists and the Venice that may be imperceptible to tourists but is home to Venetians. That hidden Venice lives and tells its story on the beautiful pages of venetophile, Locktov's latest contribution to the literary genre of art and travel."--Carmen Natschke, The Decorating Diva, Magazine interview with JoAnn Locktov, editor --ASPIRE, https://aspiremetro.com/venice-in-black-and-white/
