When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward - though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer - the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who "always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images," shot very little color in his early ... |

Хауер е австрийски музикант, композитор и теоретик, чийто творчески път започва в зората на ХХ в. под влиянието на импресионизма. От 10-те години на столетието той е идейно-естетически обвързан с додекафонията - композиционна система, създадена от австриеца Арнолд Шьонберг.
