STORYLINE:
An exhibition of art by his son in Reims in eastern France on Saturday turned into a tribute ceremony for Sebastião Salgado, the Brazilian photographer and environmentalist who died a day earlier, at the age of 81.
His widow, Lélia Wanick Salgado, and the couple’s two sons were among those paying tribute to the celebrated artist, whose work captured both the suffering and dignity of people across the globe.
The exhibition in Reims showcased the work of Rodrigo Salgado, whose brother told those gathered that their late father’s "spirit is probably among us today."
Salgado’s widow paid tribute to her husband, saying he had been "a very interesting person," who loved life and was "very good company."
Salgado, who lived in Paris for more than five decades, had been battling leukemia and had recently been dealing with other health issues, according to his family.
