Sahel by Sebastio Salgado

Sahel by Sebastio Salgado

Highlights the larger meaning of what is happening to the author's subjects with an imagery that testifies to the fundamental dignity of all humanity while simultaneously protesting its violation by war, poverty, and other injustices.

"While art should speak for itself, Salgado's photography is first and foremost a documentary way of bearing witness to something elseHis work is both an anguished cri de coeur and, although he professes not to be religions, something of a votive offering presented in the hopes of getting the attention of a world that sometimes seems to have fallen asleep." - Orville Schell, from the Foreword"
