HAND AND SCULPTURE… - Lot 274
HAND AND SCULPTURE… Female photographer, Brazil, 1960s. Photo by Maureen Bisilliat, silver gelatin print on vintage card stock mounted on a cardboard backing with annotations (including the photographer’s name) beneath the image. 27 x 35 cm (photo); 36.5 x 28 cm (cardboard). Some signs of handling. Note: This photograph, taken in the 1960s by Maureen Bisilliat, depicts a female photographer in Brazil, juxtaposed in a particularly evocative composition with a hand and a sculpture. The image illustrates the visual explorations of Maureen Bisilliat, a major figure in Brazilian photography of the second half of the 20th century. Born in England and based in Brazil since the 1950s, she developed a unique body of work blending documentary photography, an anthropological perspective, and artistic sensibility. The simultaneous presence of human gesture, the camera, and the sculpture establishes a dialogue between creation, the gaze, and representation—central themes in her work. Presented on its original mount, annotated with the photographer’s name, this vintage print is a remarkable testament to Brazilian art photography and to reflections on the connections between different modes of artistic expression in the 1960s.
