Iconic Disruption: The Lasting Mark of Oliviero Toscani
Oliviero Toscani leaves behind a void measured in images and ideas—visions that rewrote the very meaning of visual communication. Fearless in creativity and irreverent by nature, he made photography a political and poetic act, probing the soul of our times with ruthless courage. A master of an art without compromise, he was much more than a photographer: a builder of consciences, an irreplaceable part of our cultural and social history. Collectible DRY is pleased to remember his creative mind by revisiting an interview conducted by our Editor-in-Chief Silvia Motta, first published in Collectible DRY VOL. 4 Summer 2017
