At a time of the prevailing Modernist style, Mollino preferred the curvaceous, sensual lines of Art Nouveau and Gaudi. E r o t i c i s m and the female body were his great inspirations.
In the Sixties he returned to architecture and his last public masterpiece, the Teatro Regio in Turin (1965-73) is noted for its vaulting, aerodynamic balconies and sensual lines.
He photographed women throughout his life and aimed to animate the solid geometry of buildings with their living, female forms. The red carpets, curtains, velvet upholstery and soft lighting create a pulsing energy full of erotic.
