Abstract

This review deals with the work titled The poetics of the image, organized by Humberto Lima de Aragão Filho, that presents some of the most important and awarded photographs from the 1950s and 1960s produced by the Brazilian photographer Aragão Humberto. The book contains approximately 40 images that show that the artist worked according to the trends of the photographic art of that moment, exploring the transparency, the distortion, the backlight and the regionalist theme, particularly that of the Brazilian Northeastern man.
