WHY THEY MATTER
Two Guggenheim Fellowships (1971, 1977); Goethe Medal (2018); Grand Cross of the Brazilian Order of Cultural Merit; 109 prints at the Museum of Modern Art and work at Tate; a gallery at Inhotim is dedicated to her.
THE LIFE
Andujar was born Claudine Haas in Neuchatel, Switzerland, and grew up in Oradea; her father died in Dachau. After studying at Hunter College in New York she moved to Brazil in 1956 and became a Brazilian citizen in 1976. A project on the Karaja people led her into photojournalism for Life, Look and Realidade, and she went on to document the Yanomami for decades. She helped establish the commission that led Brazil to create a protected Yanomami territory of 96,000 square kilometres.
