ALGUMAS PARCERIAS FOTO/GR�FICAS DE ALAIR GOMES: BURLE MARX, MAGALH�ES E FIORE / Some photo/graphic partnerships by Alair Gomes: Burle Marx, Magalh�es and Fiore

Alair Gomes fez parte de uma comunidade cient�fica predominantemente carioca, mas manteve diversos contatos internacionais ligados � pesquisa universit�ria. Como esse texto apresenta, situa��o semelhante se passou no plano art�stico, influenciando suaprodu��o fotogr�fica. A compreens�o do lugar que Alair Gomes ocupou no cen�rio cultural a partir da d�cada de 1960 parece solicitar a reconstru��o de poss�veis parcerias entre o fot�grafo e os demais atores daquele per�odo. Analisaremos tr�s epis�dios que possibilitaram a Alair Gomes estabelecer colabora��es profissionais e projetos fotogr�ficos: fotografando o s�tio do paisagista Burle Marx; estabelecendo di�logo com o designer Aloisio Magalh�es; e participando da publica��o de um livro do designer gr�fico norte-americano Quentin Fiore. A an�lise desses epis�dios introduz e re�ne casos esparsos que at� o momento puderam ser acompanhados com maior aten��o e rigor de pesquisa. Discutimos a constru��o do contexto art�stico de Alair Gomes, que, como proposto, n�o pode ser desconsiderado na avalia��o de seus trabalhos fotogr�ficos.Palavras-chave:Fotografia; Alair Gomes; Roberto Burle-Marx; Aloisio Magalh�es; Quentin Fiore�AbstractAlair Gomes was part of a predominantly carioca scientific community, but maintained several international contacts linked to university research. As this text presents, a similar situation took place at the artistic level, influencing his photographic production. Understanding the place Alair Gomes occupied in the cultural scene in Rio de Janeiro from the 1960s onwards seems to require the reconstruction of possible partnerships between the photographer and other actors of that period. We will analyze three episodes that enabled Alair Gomes to establish professional collaborations and photographic projects: photographing the property of landscape artist Burle Marx; establishing a dialogue with the designer Aloisio Magalh�es; and participating in the publication of a book bythe North American graphic designer Quentin Fiore. The analysis of these episodes introduces and brings together scattered cases that so far could be followed up with greater attention and research rigor. We discuss the construction of Alair Gomes? artistic context, which, as proposed, cannot be disregarded in the evaluation of his photographic works.Keywords:Photography; Alair Gomes; Roberto Burle-Marx; Aloisio Magalh�es; Quentin Fiore
