Amalgames Brésiliens (Book) by Felipe Barbosa, Cabelo, Cadu, Lygia Clark. New, in blister. 18 contemporary artists from Brazil, 2006. French texts.
Brazilian amalgams. The amalgamation in Brazilian art is not a theme but a structuring and nourishing material for the works. Contemporary Brazilian art has an astonishing ability to integrate and even question urban and rural areas, learned art and popular cultures.
In contemporary Brazilian creation, the playful rubs shoulders with the critical, the dynamism of forms does not evacuate sensuality. Here is an art that forgets neither music nor the harsh, sensual and violent colors of the favelas. Let us remember that Brazilian modernism flourished in the heart of archaisms whose persistence is embodied today by the practices of capoeira and candomblé. An art that knows that there are the jewels of baroque architecture, but also religious syncretism, samba and precarious housing; the megalopolises of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, but also the landless people of the Northeast and slave workers. This catalog allows the discovery of an art irrigated by an incredible energy and joy, but which would nevertheless preserve the memory of Portuguese saudade, this melancholy of the world and a sense of the reverse of things.
