[….”art is an environment, a space, a land of freedom… a place where people can be everything… where we can move to what we are not, to the place of the other… we can be a spirit, a butterfly, a tree, an animal… this possibility of living the life of the other… because life is not enough… we have to read stories, read books”…] (itamar vieira jr – author of the book ‘TORTO ARADO’ (‘crooked plow’)

Inspiration and a tribute: To the landscapes of Bill Brandt.

landscape photography, Photography

My little library of photography books is (much) richer since yesterday: the book Bill Brandt: Shadow & Light has arrived, published in conjunction with the exhibition “Bill Brandt: Shadow & Light” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (March 06-August 12, 2013) and organized by Sarah Hermanson Meister, curator of the Department of Photography at this institution.

This book shows how important is this great photographer born in Germany and who lived much of his life in England who worked with equal mastery in the genres of documentary photography, portraits, nudes and breathtaking landscape photography.

My homage and tribute to this phenomenal photographer, one of the greatest of the 20th century, is made with this polyptych below where I show 4 landscapes from Serra da Canastra, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
