Art of Photography - Marco Leonardi moonlight... - 409 views - 1 week ago
Marco Leonardi was born in Sanremo on the Italian Riviera in 1933, a city where he spent his youth in the years preceding and during World War II.

As a teenager in the 1940s he left home and spent over 25 years traveling and living in many countries, including several years in the merchant marine. Traveling made him become more visual, which led him to photography.

Leonardi came to the United Stated in the early 1960s, lived in New York City for several years, and traveled throughout the country. Since the mid 1970s he had made Washington D.C. his home until his death from complications of leukemia in 1990.

Marco Leonardi loved Jazz and Blues. He was instrumental in conceptualizing and bringing to reality the San Remo Blues Festival in 1988, a festival that continues to this day. For the inaugural 1988 festival, Leonardi brought to his hometown of San Remo such highly regarded Washington D.C. blues musicians as Nap " Don't forget the Blues" Turner, John "Bowling Green" Cephas, Phil "Harmonica" Wiggins, Tommy Cecil, Linwood Taylor, Gail Marie Freeman, Scott Marshall Douthitt, Stanford Baldwin, Julie Moore Turner, Steve Williams, Tony Martucci, Lincoln Ross, Charlie Young, Mary Jefferson, Carl Turner, Jeff Harper, Bill Glaser, Skip Wiggins and Bob Butta.

These musicians were Marco Leonardi's friends and several can be seen in the video clip playing their instruments in the famous Washington D.C. Jazz club One Step Down. Other photographs depict indoor and outdoor scenes in San Remo, Italy; Washington D.C.; rural Virginia; inside his apartment in Dupont Circle, Washington D.C.; and also portraits of friends and lovers and strangers alike.

From the late 1970s until 1988 Marco Leonardi shared his apartment with his close friend, the visual artist Eugene James Martin. Martin taught him how to look at art and how to focus on photography. All the artworks shown hanging in Leonardi's apartment are by Eugene Martin.

Marco's artist statement is as follows:
Through photography I have come to understand art, its rejection of fear and of the limited, its acceptance of the invisible, its integrity, purity, logic and discipline and the understanding of freedom, awareness and tranquility that art reveals.

All photographs are copyright to the Estate of Eugene James Martin.
