EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Doceira baiana, c1935" by Lucilio de Albuquerque transports us to the streets of Africa in the 1930s. The image captures a moment in time, showcasing two African women engaged in their occupation as street sellers. Dressed in vibrant pink and colorful traditional attire, they sit patiently on the roadside, surrounded by an array of flowers. The photograph beautifully portrays the resilience and strength of these women who make a living through their trade despite facing poverty and hardship. Their worn-out clothes tell stories of struggle while their determined expressions reflect a sense of pride in their profession. Lucilio de Albuquerque's oil on canvas technique adds depth and texture to this portrait-like composition. The attention to detail is evident as every fold in their skirts and delicate features are meticulously captured. Published in Studio Volume 126 from London Offices of the Studio in 1943, this print serves as a valuable historical document that provides insight into life during that era. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also gain a deeper understanding of African culture and its people. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the fortitude exhibited by individuals striving for survival amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a testament to human resilience across continents and throughout centuries.
