Photograph of Clarice Herzog, on her knees, watching André Herzog standing on the beach. Register made 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.

  • Biography: Vladimir Herzog (1937-1975) was a Brazilian intellectual who acted as journalist and filmmaker in the 1960s and 1970s. From a Jewish family, he survived the holocaust and arrived at Brazil in 1946. He has built a solid career in important media-press organizations, such as BBC, Visão Magazine (Sight), and TV Cultura, always inclined to cultural themes and to the distressing Brazilian social issues. In October 1975, during the Brazilian military dictatorship, Vlado was tortured and assassinated by agents of the State, who had forged a fake suicide. Since then, his family and his friends fight for Memory, Truth and Justice regarding his emblematic case. In 2009, the Vladimir Herzog Institute was created to celebrate the life and the path of the journalist and to honor Democracy, the Human Rights and the Freedom of Speech.
