Miguel Rio Branco by John Sevigny

Miguel Rio Branco, 1984

John Sevigny presents an impassioned argument for photographer Miguel Rio Branco’s stunning color work while questioning the chops of contemporary color’s best known practitioners. It is a provocative read even if his blood-red assault seems fired from the gun turrets of black and white photojournalism and 20th Century photo history. I agree with what he is saying and I agree with what he is arguing against. That’s what I love about photography, it is not bound by thought. Check out Guernica Magazine for the complete article. Thanks to Guernica for publishing a free thinker like John.
