Eurico Lino do Vale

Portraits of Men (2003)

In Portraits of Men, photographer Lino do Vale traces a certain cartography of masculine Portuguese countenances. Using a simple array of aesthetic tools -slightly out-of-date white shirts, sitters avoiding the direct confrontation of the photographer’s gaze- the photographer proposes a study of the physiognomy of his co nationals that often results in portraits that are a mix of the old and the new.
