Sebastião Salgado has documented the plight of people around the world for more than three decades. The Brazilian-born photographer has circumnavigated the globe, taking heart-wrenching images of everything from Brazilian coal miners to sufferers of African famine — and, recently, the few still-untouched wilderness areas on Earth.
“We have some work from Salgado’s latest project, Genesis, plus some pieces from Migrations, Workers and some of his early work,” explains Loretta Young-Gautier, associate director of Camera Obscura Gallery, 1309 Bannock Street, where 21 of Salgado’s large-scale photographs will be showcased at an opening recep-tion from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. today.
Salgado’s work will show alongside eleven much smaller-scale works from turn-of-the-century documentary photographer Jacques Henri Lartigue, known for re-cording France’s whimsical Belle Epoque era.
The Salgado and Lartigue show will continue through December 31. For more information, call 303-623-4059 or visit www.cameraobscuragallery.com.
