Brazilian modernist photography emerged in the 1940s as a response to Brazil's experience of modernity, alongside Bossa Nova, Cinema Novo, and the architecture of Oscar Niemeyer. The 120 works collected in this volume, drawn from photo clubs, documentary photography, and photojournalism, demonstrate the political and aesthetic significance of this movement, which placed Brazil on the stage of the postwar international avant-garde.
