DARK SKIN (PELE PRETA)<\/div>\n
Maureen Bisilliat, England \/ Brazil<\/div>\n

I made the<\/i> Dark Skin series when I was still a student,<\/i><\/p>\n

attending studio courses with live models, focusing on anatomy,<\/i><\/p>\n

body movements, and lighting. The human body was my introduction<\/i><\/p>\n

to painting, and yet it ended up leading me to photography.<\/i><\/p>\n

Maureen Bisilliat<\/p>\n

British-born, Brazilian-naturalized artist Maureen Bisilliat made Dark Skin<\/i> almost fifty years ago: it was her first photographic essay, as she had until then worked exclusively in painting. It was shown at the S\u00e3o Paulo Museum of Modern Art in 1966: a time when photographs of nude black models were something quite novel. With this essay, Bisilliat\u2019s work underwent an important transition, as she began a new exploration of the human body and definitively stopped painting. Her photographic essays, conceived and edited as compelling visual sequences, epitomize her vision of the real and the imaginary universe, constituting what she herself calls photographic equivalencies of the literary works that have lent direction to her practice.<\/p>\n

In powerful visual sequences, Maureen Bisilliat has documented the culture of Brazil, the country of which she became a citizen in 1957. Her photographs are testimonies to the rituals of the Xingu indigenous people and the crab catchers, to the physical beauty of black Brazilians. Bisilliat started her career as a photojournalist at the magazines Quatro Rodas and Realidade<\/i> (1964-1972), after abandoning painting as a medium of expression. Based on a photo essay of the same name, she published her first book, Jo\u00e3o Guimar\u00e3es Rosa<\/i>, in 1966, with texts by the novelist himself. Since then, she has created photographic equivalences with the literary works of other Brazilian authors. She is also the editor of the celebrated Xingu: Detalhes de uma Cultura<\/i> (1978). In 2010 she was honored with the Order of Ipiranga in Brazil. The entire body of her work has been safeguarded in the archive of the Instituto Moreira Salles since 2003.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":33,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-proyecto-en.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/82"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/82\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1034,"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/82\/revisions\/1034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/africamericanos.vistprojects.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
