Before he became one of Latin America’s most prolific filmmakers — with more than 80 movies credited to his production company — Luiz Carlos Barreto was a photographer. For 15 years beginning in the late 1940s, he worked for O Cruzeiro, a Brazilian weekly magazine similar to Life or Look traveling all over Latin America and also working as a correspondent in Europe.

Luiz Carlos Barreto, "Paris", 1953

Mr. Barreto, now 83, was in New York recently for the United States premiere of “Lula, Son of Brazil,” his company’s latest film, directed by his son Fábio. But back home in Brazil, his early photographic work has been getting renewed attention. A book of his photos called “Passagem: A Memória Visual de Luiz Carlos Barreto,” or “Passage: The Visual Memory of Luiz Carlos Barreto,”was published a decade ago.  And his work has been featured in retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro, where he has lived since the 1940s, and at the Museum of Art in São Paulo.

His images range from gritty depictions of Brazil’s urban and rural poor, especially from the sertão, or arid backlands of the northeast, Mr. Barreto’s home region, to celebrity portraits: Mr. Barreto covered the first Cannes film festival in 1954 and later shot stars like Marlene Dietrich, Frank Sinatra, Brigitte Bardot, Kim Novak and Sophia Loren. But he also photographed global political figures ranging from Che Guevara and Nikita Khrushchev to Latin American presidents.

CR January: Made in Brazil

There’s a feature in our January/2010 issue (out 18 December) about São Paulo gallery Choque Cultural and its attempts to keep the tradition of letterpress Lambe-Lambe posters going by using Gráfica Fidalga to produce books and prints.

We thought it would be interesting to ask the workshop to create the artwork for our cover. Choque’s Baixo Ribeiro designed a layout using text supplied by us. We also gave him an EPS of the logo which the guys at GF made a stencil from and then routed out of a piece of wood.

For prints by Choque Cultural artists, check out the UK website here.

"Buy Prints Online" from Galeria Choque Cultural

We dropped by, and that is quite the with-it, street-artiste, Juxtapoz-style alternative gallery. And it’s in a neighborhood that is raging with giant street murals in a high underground-comix stylee.

*With its high-tech lowlife mix of keen design sense and grungola appropriated furniture, that place could be straight out of a novel. A Brazilian tupinipunk novel, presumably.

Projected to be a publishing house, Choque- as is called, ended up as a commercial QG of Brazilian young artists coming from graffiti, tattoo, graphic design, illustration and anything that speaks urban languages in Brazil.

In fact, Choque’s artists- composed of and eclectic mix of graduated designers and school drop outs, reflects today’s urban youth view on subjects involving social awareness, religion, vintage references, consumerism and today’s mutant urban feelings expressed in varied forms that goes from sculptures, abstract expressionisms to portraits of city sceneries, its people and its inner desires.

Arriving I expected to find a chaotic, dangerous and gray metropolis. Instead, I was more than surprised to find a colorful, dynamic and vibrant city. These same qualities are uniquely evident in Brazilian design. For those of you who may not know, IDEA/Brazil is the Brazilian version of the IDEA Awards. Now in its third year, IDEA/Brazil is promoted by the design organization Objeto Brasil and led by Joice Joppert Leal, who according to my friend, Helen Walters of BusinessWeek, is “a force of nature.” After a week with Joice, I couldn’t agree more!

"Is Brazil Design's Next Superpower?", by John Barrat @Fast Company

In 2008, Brazil made history with 12 award wins in the U.S., a feat never achieved by any South American country. This secured the third position among participants, trailing only the U.S. with 114 podiums, and South Korea with 19. Last year, two Brazilian projects, including the Havaianas store in São Paulo, won IDEA gold. Design work competed in 18 categories, including one exclusive to Brazil: jewelry. Industrial products, personal accessories, home living, environments, eco-design, packaging, transportation and student projects, among others, were awarded [...]

NewGraphic #23 and PRO #02

Seems that after publishing the portfolios of illustrator Walter Vasconcelos and graphic designer Kiko Farkas in its bimonthly NewGraphic magazine (20 pages each, in issues #13 – 2007 and #21 – 2009, respectively), the Nanjing Arts Institute decided to make 2010 their ‘Year of Brazil’:

The #23 – April 2010 issue features over 100 projects of books, logos, packages, covers and pages of the famous Gráfica magazine designed by Oswaldo “Miran” Miranda, a “pioneer of Contemporary Graphic Design in Brazil”, as the magazine rightfully calls him in the first of the 20 pages allocated to the renowned Curitiba graphic artist.

In this issue, the publication also initiates a series of six articles that will present portfolios of Brazilian design companies and professionals with different styles and business models. Written and produced by Brazilian designer and educator Bruno Porto, each article will focus a specific theme. The first one, “Pop”, introduces over 80 projects of editorial design studio Laboratório Secreto and design agency Boldº_a design company in another 20 pages. Issue #24 will carry projects by eg.design and Tecnopop addressing “Identity”.

The Nanjing Arts Institute has also designated 42 pages of its new publication PRODESIGN to the Brazilian graphics. Its first two issues feature the illustration works of São Paulo’s (and Barcelona resident) Flavio de Morais and Rio de Janeiro’s Lula Palomanes, as well as the complete projects and texts of the two graphic design exhibitions presented by Bruno Porto in China in 2009, “DINGBATS BRASIL” and “One Year in Posters“. While NewGraphic is published in Chinese only, PRODESIGN is bilingual (Chinese / English). Pages of both publications can be seen in http://www.seecoo.com.cn/

Capitu's Title Squence by Lobo featured on Creative Review's "Annual Best in Book"

Capitu is a Brazilian TV mini-series adaptation of 19th-century novelist Machado de Assis’ work, Dom Casmurro. The story centres on an ageing man looking back on his life in an attempt to discover whether his best friend is the true father of his son, who he has raised with his wife, Capitu.

De Assis’ novel is now considered one of Brazil’s most important Modernist texts and, in order to convey its radicalism, motion graphics studio Lobo looked to the Dadaist movement as inspiration for the TV show’s opening titles and interstitials. The team referenced what several avant-garde artists called ‘décollage’, a process where – rather than building up an image through layering – cutting and tearing instead reveals layers of buried images.

Here is the title sequence:

Rogério Duarte at The Narrows Gallery

It is impossible to comment on the work of Rogério Duarte from a purely visual perspective. It carries complexities that you can’t begin to grasp until you first understand the environment in which it was created. Duarte was born in Brazil in 1939. He is a graphic designer, poet, songwriter and professor and recognised as an intellectual force of the Tropicália movement of the late 60s, dominated by musicians such as Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso.
(…)
This autumn, The Narrows in Melbourne, Australia showed an insightful retrospective of Rogério Duarte’s work with curators Warren Taylor and James Hibbard carefully positioning the collection within this broader context. The exhibition vibrantly brought together iconic works created during the Tropicália movement and included record covers created for resistance musicians Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso and Gil Jorge, original posters designed for experimental Cinema Novo films, book covers, poetry and other media.
(…)
Duarte chaotically mixes styles and influences. He cannibalises and re-elaborates popular-culture references. Duarte devours and spits out The Beatles’ Let It Be cover for Veloso’s 1975 album, Qualquer Coisa, and his artwork for Gilberto Gil’s self-titled release is heavily influenced by Peter Blake’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (but features Gil in military-style art-school uniform).
