Clarice Herzog and Fátima Pacheco Jordão smiling.

Photograph of Clarice Herzog and Fátima Pacheco Jordão looking at each other and smiling. Register made for Vladimir Herzog. Most of the items that compose the Vladimir Herzog Collection are photographs, and among them, the vast majority were taken by Herzog himself: portraits of family, walks, trips and the household life. Clarice Herzog tells that “Vlado was the official photographer of the family”. His pleasure in perpetuating the faces and poses of his wife, his children and his close friends was undeniable. We cannot fail to notice, however, that his photographic practice is anything but ordinary. There is not only careful attention to detail, but also a frequent search for unusual angles and framings, besides a constant attraction to what is beautiful.
