Athos Bulcão, 100 years, 100 days, 100 photos

This year, Athos Bulcão, one of the most active artists working at the intersection of art and modern Brazilian architecture, would have turned 100. Bulcão dedicated a significant portion of his career to merging traditional tilework with modern architectural design—and succeeded. His work defines some of the most iconic buildings of Brazilian modernism, most notably in Brasília. 

In honor of the artist's centennial, photographer Edgard Cesar developed the project Athos Bulcão, 100 Years, 100 Days, 100 Photos (#athosbulcao100anos100dias100fotos), which brings together photographs highlighting how Bulcão's works integrate into the daily lives of people living in Brasília.

See some of Cesar's photographs below.
