RESUMO

The thesis analyses a set of Brasilias civic center pictures made by the French photographer Marcel Gautherot in the early of 1960s. At first, it analyses the epic meaning of the images comparing them with historical narratives and myths on the capitals construction. The text connect the formal choices of Gautherot with aesthetical proposals made by Le Corbusier in the 1920s, and with Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyers ideas on monumentality, art and architecture. It analyses pictures published in magazines and shows, national and international, about Brazilian modern architecture. The text discuss the use of a continuous and uniform light which appears at the same time that deep and long shadows as one of the most important strategies of composition used by Gautherot in order to represent the urbanism and architecture of Brasilia as works of art. The thesis argues that besides the iconographic relation between photography and its subject, the images made by Gautherot concentrate a complex set of aesthetical proposals that reveal the references of his French education, as well as the notion of architecture as a work of art and the monumental concept defended by Lucio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer for Brasilia.
