Description: "Artist in his own right, musician, architect, professor, and collector Pierre Chalita (b. 1930) converted his residence in Maceió, Alagoas, into a foundation where he assembled his collection of Brazilian sacred art. His collection, one of the most complete in the country, focuses particularly on the 17th and the 18th centuries. This work offers a good, but only partial presentation of the collection"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
