Modernités : photographie brésilienne (1940-1964)

From Niemeyer’s architecture to the bloody Bahia gods, and from the fine sand of Copacabana beach to the factories of São Paulo, the Fondation Calouste-Gulbenkian explores the galloping modernity that shook Brazil between 1940 and 1964, before the hammer blow of military dictatorship. A rich and sparkling portrait, created with four very different photographers: Marcel Gautherot, José Medeiros, Thomaz Farkas and Hans Gunter Flieg.
