SEBASTIAO SALGADO (Aimorés, Brazil, 1944). "A leopard (Panthera pardus) in the Barab River Valley". Damaraland, Namibia, 2005. Gelatin silver print. Photographer's credit embossed (in margin). Signed, dated and annotated in pencil; artist's stamp (on verso). Provenance: Claudio Poleschi Arte Contemporanea Gallery, San Marino, Italy. Measurements: 37,4 x 51 cm (image); 50,8 x 61 cm (paper). This is an image of subjugating beauty and elegance. The powerful majesty of the leopard enhanced by the play of reflections between the water and the night sky introduce us to a sublime nature that is barely hinted at with the minimal elements. It is perhaps one of the least descriptive and most experimental photographs by Sebastiao Salgado, who on this occasion deviates from the documentary rawness of his social photographs to address another of his most pressing concerns: environmental conservation. In several series, Salgado has used his art to draw attention to the challenges facing our planet. Sebastião Salgado is a Brazilian socio-documentary photographer and photojournalist.
