About this photo
The image displays a quote with a portrait of a man. The quote is in Portuguese and English, discussing European football versus Brazilian football. The mood is informative and historical, presented as an exhibit. The portrait is rendered in a halftone dot pattern, giving it a vintage aesthetic. ON-SCREEN TEXT: "Enquanto o futebol europeu é uma expressão apolínea de método científico e de esporte socialista em que razão pessoal resulta mecanizada e subordinada à do todo, o brasileiro é uma forma de dança, em que a pessoa se destaca e brilha." - Gilberto Freyre, sociólogo brasileiro "While European football is an Apollonian expression of the scientific method and of a socialist sport in which personal reason finishes up as mechanized and subordinated to the whole, Brazilian football is a kind of dance, in which the person stands out and shines." - Gilberto Freyre, Brazilian sociologist
