Amateur hour turns to golden hour for forgotten Brazilian photo club with New York show

Amateur dramatics: Julio Agostinelli’s Circus (Circense) (1951) will be on show at MoMA © 2016 MoMA, NY, © 2020 Estate of Julio Agostinelli. A prolific but little-known collective of Brazilian amateur photographers from the mid-20th century is the subject of a new show at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York this week. The Foto-Cine Clube Bandeirante (FCCB) which primarily included hobbyists, but also established artists such as José Oiticica Filho and German Lorca was founded in São Paulo in 1939 and produced captivating work that remains largely unseen by audiences outside Brazil. The show will comprise more than 60 photographs that reveal “a chapter of art history that has been woefully neglected”, says the MoMA photography curator Sarah Meister.
