Antropologia Da Face Gloriosa / Anthropology Of The Glorious Face is a photo book by Arthur Omar, a versatile Brazilian artist. Omar has been active in a wide range of fields, including as a filmmaker, photographer, contemporary artist, music director, and essayist, and has led the Brazilian art world. This book is considered one of Brazil's classic photo books, and is a book composed of photographs of people enjoying carnival. When it comes to photographing faces, Diane Arbus and Ken Obara are reminiscent, but this is something else. It was created to scientifically study the essence of humanity and the characteristics of Brazilians through portraits of people who were in a trance state at carnival. Omar calls it an "ecstasy of images." A number of unique expressions that bring to the surface emotions hidden deep within humans in a somewhat unrealistic situation such as carnival. It is also interesting that Omar's concept is clearly stated in all 161 illustrations.
