More information

Gunnar Smolianskys bilder visas just nu i en retrospektiv utställning på Tomelilla konsthall 14/11 2020 -10/1 2021.

I december 2019 tystnade Gunnar Smolianskys fotsteg på Stockholms gator. Hans fotografiska karriär inleddes redan på 1950-talet och sedan dess har Smolianskys strövtåg i staden resulterat i mängder av minimalistiska ögonblicksbilder av Stockholm och dess invånare.
Många av hans bilder har med tiden blivit ikoniska tidsdokument som visar en arkitektur och ett stadsliv helt väsensskilt från dagens trots att bara några decennier skiljer dem åt.
