Lita Cerqueira’s friend, singer, music composer and art collector Gilberto Gil wrote:
“The photographs of Lita Cerqueira are the result of an extreme sensitivity and a look of great acuteness, wrought in the anguish of a repressed but proud and patient people who fit into the magical dimension of a growing civilization, in this fourth dimension that is that of inspired nations like Brazil. I know perfectly this confluence between the desire of a tropical artist and the unpredictability of our stubborn Gods. Just like Lita, I am an artist, black and native of the State of Bahia and I know that her photos represent a miracle from an attentive and stripped look, very close to that of the gods in a trance”.
