Estudos fotográficos

Photographer Thomaz Farkas (b. Hungary 1924, lived and worked in Brazil since 1930 - d. Brazil 2011), was also a film director, director of documentaries and an academic. This book rescues Farkas's exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) of São Paulo in 1949, considered seminal not only in the consecration of the photographer's work, but also for being the first photography exhibition in a Brazilian museum. Another relevant factor of this work is the fact that it reproduces not only the exhibited works but also portrays the project of expography, made by architects Jacob Rucht and Miguel Fortes, with clear modernist vision. The book also features essays by historians and critics Sérgio Burgi and Heloise Costa.
