Description: "Through his sculptural work, Brecheret became a seminal figure in the establishment of Brazilian modernism. In Paris, where he lived for 20 years, Brecheret absorbed some of the main trends of modernism and brought these ideas to Brazil, having transformed them in a personal way, blending cubism and art deco statements of great sensitivity and elegance. Text discusses his impact on Brazil, his contribution to modern art in Brazil, and the many controversies he and his work sparked. His universal relevance has been gradually accepted"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
