Considered in his native Brazil as one of the greatest exponents of Modernism, Geraldo de Barros and his photographic work have only recently been discovered by the international art scene. Multifaceted, spontaneous, and unafraid to combine photography and decorative arts, de Barros's work is particularly renowned for experimental photographic techniques, especially the effects achieved through negative manipulation. The book provides a comprehensive overview of his photographic work.
