In this major exhibition at the Museum für Fotografie, four exemplarily chosen photographers capture Brazil's path to modernism. Three of the photographers were European émigrés: Thomaz Farkas was Hungarian, Marcel Gautherot came from France, and Hans Gunter (Günter) Flieg was born in Germany. Their foreign roots only underscore Brazil's international appeal in the years after the Second World War up to the beginning of the Brazilian military dictatorship in 1964. José Medeiros is remembered as the country's classic photojournalist of the forties and fifties. His photo-stories for the leading Brazilian illustrated 'O Cruzeiro' captured life in Rio de Janeiro, on the beach, and at Carnival, as well as the social events and rituals of the upper ten-thousand. Contrasted to this are his picture-stories from the inland. They show the onset of technology in the world of the Indians and the magical cult of the Candomblé.
