Portrait of Clarice Herzog

Close up photograph of Clarice Herzog taken by 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 says that “Vlado was the official photographer of the family”. His pleasure in perpetuating the faces and poses of his wife his children 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.
