Binder, Bandi

Endre "Bandi" Binder emigrated from Hungary to Argentina in 1935 and lived and worked alternately in Argentina, Uruguay, and the United States. He became an excellent self-taught photographer specializing in portrait and later nude photography, in line with the emerging women's liberation movement of the 1960s. The pop and psychedelia of the years he spent in San Francisco and Los Angeles left a mark on his style. In addition to taking photographs, he spent many hours in the darkroom experimenting with unconventional photographic techniques. That is why a large part of his vintage photographs are unique copies. For fifty seasons - between the forties and the nineties - he dedicated himself to portraying traditional Argentine and Uruguayan families who vacationed in Punta del Este.
