If anyone had expected classic pictures in the sense of traditional it would have been useless to ask to Giovanni Gastel who, instead, preferred to convey to his photographs a dynamism and liveliness that made them unique. To evoke the refined atmospheres of Dior here he literally makes the figure of the model vibrate as she wears a very elegant dress that stands out against the light background. It's interesting to note that, while not showing the details of the girl's face, the photographer is able to give us a glimpse of her playful expression that goes well with the posture of her arms that follow the sinuosity of her body. A man endowed with a great culture that on the one hand matched irony and on the other was open to a deeper dimension (that of his poems), Giovanni Gastel had grown up in the love of art: this photograph made “in the manner of” openly evokes the atmospheres dear to the painter Edward Hopper in a compositional game where colors with pastel tones play an important role.
