Description
Geraldo de Barros: A Photographic Exploration of Form. In 1946, Brazilian painter Geraldo de Barros discovered photography, which he quickly grasped due to his knowledge of modern art and experimental wealth. He related the medium to his studies and later at the public library of São Paulo. This connection enabled him to link international art issues with his personal tastes and Brazil's post-war culture. De Barros' approach to photography was influenced by debates and discussions with European intellectuals exiled in Brazil during World War II. These exchanges allowed him to make connections between artistic concerns, personal experience, and national culture. This book presents 141 photographs from the Musée de l'Elysée Lausanne collection, showcasing Geraldo de Barros' unique perspective on form and photography.
