SP-Arte/Foto 2020

Gaspar Gasparian, Untitled, 1950, vintage gelatin silver print, 12.20 x 16.53 in

1/22

Luciana Brito Galeria and Isabel Amado Fotografia are presenting the exhibition Modern Photography: Gaspar Gasparian, Geraldo de Barros, Gertrudes Altschul, Marcel Giró, Paulo Pires and Thomaz Farkas, featuring a selection of photographs, which very significantly recover the historical phase when Brazilian photography began to investigate abstraction. In the context of intense social, economic and political transformations, the 1940s and 1950s were fundamental for consolidating Brazilian photography within the visual arts. The impact of the processes of modernization of the large cities pushed photography to an entirely new artistic and conceptual level. Photography went from being a mere recording tool to a vehicle for technical and aesthetic visual experimentation and for the formalization of a new language in the arts. This discussion was brought to a higher level by the photo club movement, consisting of groups such as the FCCB (Foto Cine Clube Bandeirante), which promoted and organized this activity within the circuit. Photography then began to be considered as a means of artistic expression, which had the photo clubs as a form of organization and professionalization of this sector, through the training of photographers, technical improvements, and the systematization of production, along with the organization of shows, juried exhibitions and national and international competitions. Abstractionism within photographic research represents an essential turning point for definitively positioning this artistic language among the cannons of art history. Shadows, textures, geometric shapes, darkroom experiments, the Sabattier effect and photograms were artifices intensely explored by these artists.

Geraldo de Barros, Homenagen a Simeão Leal, 1950 (ed. vintage)

1/1

Amid both the accelerated emergence of new techniques and the art market moves, the status of photography as an art object acquires different nuances - on the one hand, large print runs allow greater diffusion of a work, on the other, vintage prints (limited number copies, sometimes single units) made â€‹â€‹by the artists themselves, not only hold a certain aura, but truly keep a deeper relationship with the photographer's live action. In this sp-art/foto fair edition, Luciana Brito Galeria presents vintage copies of key names of Brazilian art since modernism, such as Gaspar Gasparian, Geraldo de Barros (above) and Thomaz Farkas. Original prints by contemporary artists such as Rochelle Costi, Caio Reisewitz and João Luiz Musa will also be featured at the gallery's booth. // sp-arte/foto: August 20 - 24, Shopping JK Iguatemi, 3rd floor.
