His work had several influences, such as Pablo Picasso, whom he met in Paris in 1929, as well as Freud's psychological works. In the 1930s, a period of great artistic production, Dalí joined the artistic movement known as surrealism. His works, with extraordinary artistic quality, are almost always representations of a bizarre universe, such as the famous “The Persistence of Memory” (1931), “Soft Construction with Boiled Beans: Premonition of Civil War” (1936), “Sleep” (1937), or “Giraffe on Fire” (1937).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Whitaker (1939 - 2011) was a famous British photographer, internationally known for his photographs of the Beatles.

He began his contextualized ideal in 1865, when he opened, in an improved form, the “Casa Marc Ferrez \u0026amp; Cia” in his hometown. He married the Frenchwoman Marie Lefebvre in 1873, the year in which his studio was destroyed by a fire. This tragedy did not inhibit his persistence in continuing his art.

In 1861, Dom Pedro II, Emperor of Brazil, created a program to recover the area, which had been deforested to make charcoal. The construction of this project, which lasted about 13 years, relied on the help of 100,000 slaves. Today, the Forest is one of the main tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro, a lush space with diverse plants, giant trees and waterfalls, an important place for the locals. It also regulates the climate of the Marvelous City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This photo, called “Tijuca La Floresta,” signed by Marc Ferrez, is a rare piece of work.

He is known for his photographs that documented the culture, social and economic life of Brazil, at the end of the 19th century.

Many members of the Brazilian aristocracy were educated in France and spoke French fluently, in addition to adopting French customs and fashions.
