Marcel Gautherot (1910-96) is regarded by many as one of the most
significant French photographers, yet his work is relatively little
known and even less published. Marcel Gautherot: The Monograph
features some 200 of his striking pictures from all stages of his
career, superbly reproduced in tritone printing. The images are
complemented by essays on his affinity for modern architecture, his
contribution to the history of photography, and on his attachment
to Brazil. The most famous part of his work is the body of some
3,000 images documenting the construction of Brasilia 1958-1960.
This, and other images he took of this extraordinary place until
the 1970s, is widely appreciated as a high point of 20th-century
architectural photography. Gautherot began an education in
architecture but very soon took up photography as well. He
travelled extensively in France and abroad and visited Brazil and
Peru for the first time in 1939, before being drafted into the
French army on the outbreak of World War II. Upon demobilisation in
summer 1940 he returned to Brazil and made Rio de Janeiro his home
for the rest of his life.
