Title: Arte brasileira na Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo
Description: This fine edition comprises profound and reveling analysis by some of the most respected critics and historians of Brazil over selected art pieces from the holdings of the State Pinacoteca. This richly illustrated edition includes also a summary of the monographic lectures presented by several specialists in a cycle of conferences held in 2003; an historic document of Brazilian art and an introductory text on the museum building from its foundation to its restoration in 1994 by Paulo Mendes da Rocha. Taisa Palhares, who coordinated the edition, explains in the introduction that the selection of the artists followed 2 parameters: "the relevance of their workart in the collection -that evidently responds to a particular vision a Brazilian art- and the importance of the artist in the formation of Brazilian art."--Page 22.
