Fotoclubismo

Fotoclubismo explores the exceptional creative achievements of São Paulo’s Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante (FCCB), a group of amateur photographers whose ambitious and innovative works embodied the abundant originality of postwar Brazilian culture. Although their work was heralded around the world in the 1950s, it subsequently faded from view. Published in conjunction with the first major museum exhibition of Brazilian modernist photography outside of Brazil, held at the MoMA, the lavishly-illustrated volume celebrates the extraordinary photography that emerged in São Paulo during a singularly vibrant era.
