| description | This paper aims to understand the photographs produced by Augusto Malta (1864-1957) and Harry Grant Olds (1869-1943) during the urban renewal of Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires, respectively, during the first three decades of the twentieth century. It is observed that the subjects portrayed by the two photographers are related to the ideas of back-wardness, modernization, progress and exoticism, characteristic of Latin American cities in the process of metropolianization. Their photographs show both barbarism (slums, conventillos and landfills), as the images of civilization (boulevards, parks and theatres). Thus, we analyze how their photographs participated in the process of eliminating the old and building the new, while both recorded what stood on what is destroyed in the urban scene, building a great album of images intended to document the history of those cities. |
