Nakon niza samostalnih i grupnih izložbi diljem svijeta, izložba "Rino Gropuzzo: Fotomorfoze" u Muzeju za umjetnost i obrt predstavlja retrospektivu njegovog bogatog opusa koju je u svibnju 2019. postavio u Palači Gopcevich u organizaciji Hrvatske zajednice u Trstu. Nastavno na višegodišnju iznimno uspješnu suradnju Muzeja za umjetnost i obrt i Hrvatske zajednice u Trstu, ovaj riječki fotograf međunarodno profilirane karijere predstavit će svoj bogati opus i zagrebačkoj publici. Gropuzzo se bavi fotografijom od ranih 70-ih godina. U ranim 80-ima posvećuje joj se profesionalno kada duže periode provodi u Parizu i Milanu potom Ateni i Los Angelesu. U Milanu se stručno usavršava u umjetničkoj i modnoj fotografiji te počinje surađivati s milanskom agencijom „Marka“. Poznat je po svojim fotografijama u području modne, reklamne, beauty, erotske te pejzažne i umjetničke fotografije.

Following a series of solo and group exhibitions around the world, "Rino Gropuzzo: Photomorphoses" exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Crafts is a retrospective with a rich oeuvre, set in May 2019 at the Gopcevich Palace in the organisation of the Croatian Community in Trieste. A continuation of the extremely successful cooperation of the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb and the Croatian Community in Trieste, this Rijeka-based photographer has an internationally profiled career to present his rich oeuvre to the Zagreb audience. Gropuzzo deals with photography from the early 70's. He dedicates himself to it professionally in the early 80's when he spent long periods in Paris and Milan, Athens and Los Angeles. In Milan, he was expertly employed in art and fashion photography, and begins to collaborate with the Milan-based agency "Marka". He is known for his photography in the field of fashion, advertising, beauty, erotic, landscape and art photography.

Kustos izložbe Tomislav Čop, povjesničar umjetnosti, odabirom fotografija naglašava slojevitost autorovog pristupa te njegov fotografski talent. Stoga je izložba osmišljena po prepoznatljivim tematskim poglavljima i ciklusima koji čine Gropuzzov opus. Najznačajniji su kanonizirana ljepota u motivu ženskog akta, portreta i prikaza raščlanjena na figure snimljene u studiju, arhitekturalnom ambijentu (industrijske arheologije) i prirodi; narativni ciklusi; geometrizirajuća figuracija; pejzaži i organska figuracija detalja te modna fotografija.

Exhibition curator Tomislav Čop, art historian, emphasizes the complexity of the author's approach and his photographic talent. Therefore, the exhibition is designed to identify the thematic chapters and cycles that make up Gropuzzo's oeuvre. The most notable is the canonized beauty in the motif of the female act, portraits and the depictions taken in the studio, in an architectural setting (industrial archeology) and nature; narrative cycles; geometrizing figuration; landscapes and organic figuration of details and his fashion photography.
