“Fotoclubismo: Brazilian Modernist Photography, 1946–1964” Exhibition
The Museum of Modern Art
This event has ended.
The Museum of Modern Art announces Fotoclubismo: Brazilian Modernist Photography, 1946–1964, the first museum exhibition of Brazilian modernist photography outside of Brazil. On view May 8 – September 26, 2021, the exhibition will focus on the unforgettable creative achievements of São Paulo’s Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante, a group of amateur photographers widely heralded in Brazil, but essentially unknown to European and North American audiences. Fotoclubismo is comprised of over 60 photographs drawn generously from MoMA’s collection; together, they bring forward the extraordinary range of achievements of this group, provide valuable insight into the way photographic aesthetics were framed in the 1950s, and afford opportunities to reflect on the significance of amateur status today.
Fotoclubismo is organized by Sarah Meister, Curator, with Dana Ostrander, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Photography.
