Description: This impressive book accompanies the first comprehensive study of the dynamic work of Swiss-born Brazilian artist Mira Schendel (1919-1988). Along with her contemporaries Lygia Clark and Helio Oiticica, Schendel reinvented the language of European modernism in Brazil. Her work is characterized by a variation of materials, from twisted and braided rice paper to acrylic paints, black and white tempera and a series of brick dust paintings. During the height of his artistic powers, his work often focused on the visual component of language using letters, words and phonetic combinations to highlight the sudden gestural and semantic value of the written word. After his death in 1988, his work was widely exhibited around the world, culminating in a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2009. Este impresionante libro acompaña el primer estudio exhaustivo de la dinámica obra de la artista brasileña de origen suizo Mira Schendel (1919-1988). Junto con sus contemporáneos Lygia Clark y Helio Oiticica, Schendel reinventó el lenguaje del modernismo europeo en Brasil. Su obra se caracteriza por la variación de materiales, desde el papel de arroz retorcido y trenzado hasta pinturas acrílicas, témperas en blanco y negro y una serie de pinturas de polvo de ladrillo. Durante el apogeo de sus facultades artísticas, su obra se centró a menudo en el componente visual del lenguaje, utilizando letras, palabras y combinaciones fonéticas para resaltar el repentino valor gestual y semántico de la palabra escrita. Tras su muerte en 1988, su obra se expuso ampliamente en todo el mundo, culminando con una retrospectiva en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York en 2009.
