Photographie moderniste brésilienne

In a rapidly changing Brazil of the 1940s, a new generation of photographers explored the political and aesthetic potential of the medium. Inspired by the rise of modernist architecture, Cinema Novo, and Bossa Nova, they invented a bold visual language built on architectural lines, abstraction, and experimentation.

Through 33 artists, this book sheds light on a still lesser-known scene and its major role in the international avant-gardes, with essays by specialists offering valuable insight into this creative movement.
