WALL

 

From the end of the 1950s to the mid-60s, Scheier worked for TV Record. He photographed personalities, music shows, and the station’s soap operas. He documented shows by international artists such as Johnnie Ray, Roy Hamilton, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Brenda Lee, Domenico Modugno, Caterina Valente and Yma Sumac. The resulting images were published in albums printed on photographic paper, with a visual narrative flow that showed the arrival of the artist, the audience, backstage and the best moments of the show. Both the photographs and the layout of the albums, with borderless, sequential images, show that the photojournalism model adopted by the magazine O Cruzeiro remained a central reference for Scheier.
