Literature
Vender's cultural points of reference are numerous and range from German photography of the 1920s to pictorialism with an eye turned, albeit in a non-dogmatic way, to that idea inspired by the Crucian aesthetic of the accurate high key print dominated by bright tones. This is evident in the portrait of the woman with the black hat, an image so important that it appeared on the cover of the monograph “Federico Vender fotografo” published in 1991 by the Brescian editor Dragoni. In the careful setting of the face that occupies the central part, finding in the dress and the hat's flaps the ideal frame, one finds the compositional features present in the top-down, diagonal shot of St. Mark's Square. The orderly geometries of the spaces allow the dark areas placed in the upper left and lower right to converse with the lighter central one punctuated by the stretching shadows of the walkers and those of the pigeons that look like elements of a strange punctuation.
