Description
Now more than 175 years after photography's invention, it is rare to discover a significant chapter of its history that is essentially unknown to European and North American audiences. São Paulo's Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante (FCCB) is widely heralded in Brazil, but almost invisible to photography enthusiasts elsewhere.
Historically, their achievements were well known to the international circuit of salons in which they participated, including Otto Steinert and his fellow "Subjective" photographers in Germany and the Société Française de la Photographie in Paris. Nonetheless, to date, not a single American institution owns vintage photographs by anyone other than Geraldo de Barros.
Published to accompany an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, Fotoclubismo assembles a robust selection of photographs to introduce the FCCB's ground-breaking photographic experiments to a wider audience. Six thematic chapters highlight individual achievements as well as the breadth of the club's membership, transforming the history of photography as we know it and connecting with contemporary Brazilian painting and São Paulo's then-newly-formed museums of modern art. This is the first non-Portuguese language publication to grapple with these photographs.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics praise the book for restoring a forgotten chapter of photographic history and for its serious, ambitious exploration of the medium. Benjamin Clifford of Brooklyn Rail honours the photographs' dedication to the art form, while Julia Curl of Hyperallergic notes their distinct contribution despite clear dialogue with Western avant-garde masters. The New Yorker's Andrea K. Scott highlights the experimental rigour of the club’s members. Reviews from Art Newspaper and Wall Street Journal celebrate the visual beauty and historical significance of these works, and New York Times reviewer Martha Schwendener recognises the link forged between amateur and professional photographic artistry.
