Geografia da Arte

The series Geografia da Arte analyzes the relation between artists and the places that inspire them. Two episodes will be screened. In "Ragnar Kjartansson + Iceland", one of the most important artists of contemporary art prepares a retrospective at the Reykjavík Museum of Art, exploring his connection with the country's culture. In "Henri Cartier-Bresson + India" we discover how the photographer met Mahatma Gandhi in 1948. His camera recorded the leader’s last appearance on night before his assassination. The photographs helped catapult Cartier-Bresson to international fame as a photojournalist.
