Mario Cravo Neto

Mario Cravo Neto - Brazil (1946-2010) .

In a work combining craftsmanship, imagination and poetic strength, Mario Cravo Neto, has recreated with originality the beautiful, dramatic, and secret world of Bahia, a physical and human landscape of incomparable richness. We are not faced with a simple representation of life in Bahia, but with a recreation, of a complex world, where all the elements disintegrate and are giving new form through the lens and sensibility of the artist, who is part of the whole not just its interpreter.

Author of remarkable photographic books and internationally known for the great poetical density of his photographic work, Mario Cravo Neto introduces us to a deeper knowledge about Brazil and its reality. Mario Cravo Neto gives us a key to the secret magic of Bahia: Peace, Quiet, and Solitude. Words of the artist, which I add: Life, People and Love. Jorge Amado
