Miguel Rio Branco. Maldicidade (Taschen) Brand New Sealed Contemporary Brazilian Photography Monograph

Description

Step into the intoxicating, high-contrast visual poetry of contemporary Latin American master **Miguel Rio Branco** with this pristine, factory-sealed copy of **”Maldicidade”**, published by Taschen.

Miguel Rio Branco, a renowned painter, filmmaker, and Magnum Photos associate, is globally celebrated for his unique ability to transform urban decay, marginalization, and human struggle into arresting fine art. Far from a traditional documentary travelogue, *Maldicidade* is an explosive, sensory visual essay. Through deeply saturated reds, deep shadows, and gritty textures, Rio Branco juxtaposes the intense, melancholic realities of city life across Salvador da Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Havana, and New York.

The striking cover portrait represents the volume’s core philosophy: capturing the fierce vitality, pain, and absolute beauty found within forgotten urban spaces.
