Frank Dituri is an American photographer and the son of Italian immigrants who divides his time between Italy and New York. His photographs transform observed reality into images that border on uncertainty, mystery, and poetic ambiguity. Beginning in the 1960s, Dituri photographed the streets of New York; by the 1980s, the human figure had become an important formal and symbolic presence in his work. His images increasingly engaged memory, spirituality, nature, and childhood experience. Although working through photography, Dituri’s vision has been informed by painters including Giorgio de Chirico, Piero della Francesca, and Edward Hopper, particularly through their use of perspective, staging, and atmosphere. His work has been exhibited internationally and is included in collections including the Pushkin Museum of Fine Art, Moscow; La Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris; the Hudson River Museum, New York; and the National Museum of Photography, Brescia, Italy.
