Fotoclubismo: Brazilian Modernist Photography and the Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante, 1946-1964 - by Sarah Hermanson Meister (Hardcover)

Fotoclubismo: Brazilian Modernist Photography, 1946-1964 - A groundbreaking collection of photographs from an unknown but highly influential photography club in Brazil.

This book presents the creative achievements of São Paulo's Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante, a group of amateur photographers who pursued their artistic ambition outside of their day jobs as lawyers, businessmen, accountants, journalists, engineers, biologists and bankers.

Their radical experimentations with process and form and determination to distill inventive compositions from everyday life contributed to their esteemed reputation within an active international postwar scene.

This richly illustrated publication assembles a robust selection of photographs to introduce the FCCB's photographic experiments to an international audience, highlighting individual achievements nestled between thematic groupings that suggest the breadth of the club's talent.

The book also situates the FCCB within the broader contemporary art scene in Brazil as well as a dynamic network of photographers around the world, offering fresh insight into the status of the amateur then and now.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to discover the hidden gem of modernist photography!
