Book excerpt: Traces Brazilian art in "three main groupings [:] Indian art, the popular art of the countryside, and the works of internationally minded artists. The third category includes not only painting and sculpture but also graphic and industrial design, photography, cinema, furniture, architecture, and visual communications in all fields. Among the painters discussed, perhaps the best known are Portinari, Di Cavalcanti, and Lasar Segall; among the sculptors, Maria Martins and Brecheret. In addition, the buildings of world-renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer are analyzed fully, particularly his masterpiece, the new city of Brasilia."--Page 2 of cover.
