Photographer’s Note
Finally a break to the the rainny days, finally some time for shooting my city. Nothing would go better than a sunny Sunday to visit Museu Oscar Niemeyer, even if it was not possible to go inside and see what was going on (it closes at 6:00pm).
The Oscar Niemeyer Museum (Portuguese: Museu Oscar Niemeyer) was inaugurated in 2002 with the name Novo Museu or New Museum. With the conclusion of remodeling and the construction of a new annex, it was reinaugurated on July 8, 2003, with the current denomination to honor its famous architect who completed this project at 95 years of age. It is also known as Museu do Olho or Museum of the Eye, due to the design of the building.
The museum focuses on the visual arts, architecture and design. For its magnificence, beauty and for the importance of the collection, it represents a cultural institution of international significance. The complex of two buildings, installed in an area of 35 thousand square meters (of which 19 thousand are dedicated to exhibition space), it is a true example of architecture allied with art. The first building was designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1967, faithful to the style of the time, and conceived as an educational institute. It was remodeled and adapted to function as a museum, for which Niemeyer designed the annex, reminiscent of an eye, imprinting it with a new characteristic identity.
The museum features many of Niemeyer's signature elements: bold geometric forms, sculptural curved volumes placed prominently to contrast with rectangular volumes, sinuous ramps for pedestrians, large areas of white painted concrete, and areas with vivid murals or paintings. A collaborator previously on Ibirapuera Park with landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, Niemeyer's namesake museum is also within a garden designed by Burle Marx, and that within 144 thousand square meters of woodland. Though rooted in modern architecture since his involvement in the international style, Niemeyer's designs have much in common with postmodern architecture as well and this is as contemporary a building as the artwork it displays.

Hello Carlos,
très bel ensemble architectural, avec de jolies teintes de fin de journée. Quelle bonne idée d'avoir intégré quelques personnages, on se rend vraiment compte de l'imposante structure. Bravo !

Olá, Carlos!
Só de bater o olho já vemos que é obra do Niemeyer! E as curvas de que ele tanto gosta também sempre nos ajudam nas fotos, deixando a composição sempre bem interessante! As cores ficaram sensacionais! Belíssimo trabalho!

Oi, Carlos.
Eu por aqui novamente, matando as saudades das fotos de vcs. Excelente composição. As cores ficaram ótimas nesta composição impecável. A nota, bem elaborada, está rica. É interessante que o Niemeyer, também, projetou, em Natal, uma obra com esta similaridade de curvas. Este cara é demais e vc soube valorizá-lo com arte e capricho. Bela mostra. Abraço, Consuelo

They are some very interesting shots during the night on TE !
Yours is incontestably one of them.
The modern structure is an ideal subject to get a very graphical picture. You've done a perfect use of the curves, and there is something magic in that "pink hour".
The quality is striking : light management, sharpness... You've done an excellent work.
The few walkers are very important in your composition to give a sens of scale. Excellent choice to have waited for them.
I don't know if it was possible, but just a few steps backwards and perhaps you could have included a wider part of the reflection...

Olá Carlos!
A arquitectura do Oscar Niemeyer é uma fonte inesgotável de inspiração para vocês aí! Gosto muito desta foto, não só pela arquitectura, como pelas cores do pôr-do-sol. E até aproveitou muito bem a presença daquelas pessoas.

Olá Carlos,
sensacional essa imagem do Museu OScar Niemeyer, o mesmo que publicou uma foto minha num livro rm homenagem ao século de vida do arquiteto, e acharam essa foto minha aqui no TE mesmo, mas como toda instituição séria, foi tudo acordado por escrito, ao contrário do costuma ocorrer de simplesmente copiarem a foto sem autorização, como fez um político daqui de BH com a mesma foto... processo nele! E uns trocados pra mim, que se der tudo certo, vira câmera nova no final, hehe! Bonita mesmo a foto e as cores suaves.
Parabéns e Abraço

this is really great, Carlos, I love the warm pink and yellow tones, so unusual, but they work nicely with the crazy shape of the building (looks like a psychodelic mushroom to me, lol). the sweeping lines of the walkway look very elegant, almost weightless (cannot find a better word to describe the impression), great shot.
regards,
Kristine

Bom dia Carlos!
Esse museu é muitíssimo interessante (já o visitei), com suas formas inusitadas e sua foto está muito linda, pelas cores, pelo ótimo controle da luminosidade, pelo ponto de vista muito bem escolhido e pela composição eficiente, com resultados visuais verdadeiramente atraentes! Até um pinheiro-do-paraná apareceu aí!!!
Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Ciao Carlos,
immagine particolare e ben costruita, grazie all'ottima scelta del POV, dove vediamo un ponte curvo che movimenta la scena e dà profondità.
La luce è fantastica, accentuata dal bel riflesso nell'acqua.
Bravo!

Bom-dia Carlos,
Qual modernismo, e também qual futurisme, que pode simbolizar o Brasil moderno, e o seu futuro brilhante, e mim espera-o calmo. Gosto da estética da construção certamente, mas aprecio sobretudo o enquadramento e a composição muito hábil, bem como as cores extraordinários. Uma grande fotografia, felitações.
Passa um bom dia.

La composición tiene una gran geometría pero lo que más me gusta es la luz y colores. Preciosa foto!

Ola Carlos,
the bonus of the end of the rainy days is this magnificent shot with the construction to dominates the whole scene.I like the pink colour tints of the sky as the passing by people has an effect of scale in contrary to the sculpture..
Have a nice weekend,Danos

This architecture is great and the sky light is just perfect to frame it. I would like to see a bit more reflection at the lowest part but maybe was not possibel to include it. The human presence give us a good idea of scale.

Só mesmo você para fazer esta magnífica fusão de natureza e arquitetura! O POV escolhido está sensacional, destacando as formas arquitetônicas contra este céu deslumbrante. O mestre Niemeyer ficaria orgulhoso se visse esta imagem, uma verdadeira obra de arte fotográfica. Minha favorita!

Hello Carlos,
Although there are these people on the image to give us a scale on dimensions of this architecture, one does not realize length of the building, then thank you for the satellite photo… Beautiful catch of sight of this museum to the very futuristic design, and the colors of this twilight adds a certain mystery to the places. An interesting photograph just like your note, thank you Carlos.
With all my friendships and very good Sunday,

Olá Carlos, está super artística esta peça de arte :) Nunca percebi os horários impróprios dos museus, muitas vezes fechados quando mais gente lá pode ir. Os que estão fechados ao Domingo são os que eu menos entendo. Adoro a arquitectura do Niemeyer. Simples em volumes e cheia de dinamismo com as suas linhas elegantes a correrem por todo o lado. As rampas na arquitectura sempre me atrairam como elementos plásticos. Adiante, esta captura de final de dia está lindíssima, um show de cor e reflexos, o olho dominante lá em cima, as pessoas pequeninas a passearem por aí. Gosto especialmente do senhor de amarelo ao centro e do par estacionado à esquerda. Parabéns pelo trabalho.
Um abraço,

Hi Carlos,
It is unbelievable that Oscar Niemeyer is, at his age, still capable to design such up to date architecture. He certainly deserves a magnificent ambiance you realized in this picture. Leonorkuhn wrote lately he was recovering from an operation. I hope he did well.
