Chagall, Miró, Picasso, Giacometti, Lichtenstein, Rothko or Fontana – the photographer Eddy Novarro (c. 1925 – 2003) knew the great artists of his time. They all stood in front of his camera in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Sitters thanked him by giving artworks of their own – often with personal dedication – in return. The collection of works includes drawings, paintings and sculptures ranging from Modernism, Abstract Impressionism to Pop Art. Besides well-known artists such as the surrealists René Magritte, Salvador Dalí and Man Ray and artists of the Informalism and Abstract Expressionism such as Antoni Tapiés and Willem de Kooning are many forgotten artists who were regarded as ground-breaking after World War II and need to be rediscovered today. The exhibition in Schwerin shows a novel synopsis of Eddy Novarro’s collection and portraits photography of the artists. Like looking through a kaleidoscope, the display offers ever-changing impressions, reflections and variations of artistic tendencies. The exhibition is kindly supported by the private collection Dr Gerhard Cromme under the direction of Margrit Bernard. Eddy Novarro was born in the late 1920s in Bucharest, the son of a painter and sculptor. From an early age on, he was fascinated by the world of art. Novarro started his career in the 1950s as a press photographer in Brazil, where he soon plunged into the art scene and met many artists in person. Here he became a sought-after portrait photographer, whose reputation was soon known across Brazil’s borders. Throughout his life, he photographed hundreds of famous artists from all over the world, but also numerous politicians and heads of state
