In brief volume of fiction Philanthropist, Rodrigo Naves, one of the most important art critics of Brazil, worked in a record that the critic John Moura Jr. would call 'modern shock'. From a language that combined test, prose and poetry, Naves encapsulated small prints, scenes and events of everyday life, removing them from a place of safety to assign them new meanings. Fifteen years passed before Naves resolve back to fiction. However, if there is something Philanthropist The calm of this day - the short form, the disruption of expectations and preconceived schemes - there is also a new harshness, that constantly invades concise and lyrical look at the author. The clash between the strength of the field and what it has to light and fluid is at the center of these tales. The ability to Spaceships is to create, in the words of critic Andrew Goldfeder, 'a sprawling landscape, drawn with lines and subtle shifts Restless'. It is the art critic before the world, desincumbido the obligation to evaluate it, filling voids and concealing what is in sight.

Searching for Immune Tolerance Manipulating New Molecules and Exploiting New Concepts on Lymphocyte Biology

The break on immune tolerance is a common point between autoimmune diseases and the uncontrolled effector immune responses against allo-antigens in transplantation. Among the past years, several approaches to restore a suppressive immune state have included the targeting of co-stimulatory/inhibitory molecules on immune cells, the promotion or blockade of pivotal cytokines, and the extensive study on how to isolate and expand suppressive cells with the purpose to re-infuse them in patients. To date, the availability of new technologies has permitted to learn, in a more detailed way, the immune mechanisms carried out by suppressive lymphocytes, together with the identification of new potential...

How Brazilian postwar avant-garde artists updated modernism in a way that was radically at odds with European and North American art historical narratives. Brazilian avant-garde artists of the postwar era worked from a fundamental but productive out-of-jointness. They were modernist but distant from modernism. Europeans and North Americans may feel a similar displacement when viewing Brazilian avant-garde art; the unexpected familiarity of the works serves to make them unfamiliar. In Constructing an Avant-Garde, Sérgio Martins seizes on this uncanny obliqueness and uses it as the basis for a reconfigured account of the history of Brazil’s avant-garde. His discussion covers not only widely...

A obra crítica de Rodrigo Naves caminha em tensão permanente entre as noções de forma e história. Seu livro A forma difícil, lançado originalmente em 1996, é um marco na interpretação da arte brasileira. A partir de leituras minuciosas das obras de Guignard, Volpi, Debret e Amilcar de Castro, Rodrigo discute a dificuldade de emancipação da forma moderna na arte brasileira. Em seus ensaios, a análise da materialidade específica de cada trabalho é sempre o ponto de partida. Não é diferente nesta poderosa interpretação da obra de Van Gogh. Atento à fatura expressiva das icônicas telas do artista holandês, Rodrigo procura entendê-las à luz da ideia de salvação, profunda...

Culture Wars in Brazil

In Culture Wars in Brazil Daryle Williams analyzes the contentious politicking over the administration, meaning, and look of Brazilian culture that marked the first regime of president-dictator Getúlio Vargas (1883–1954). Examining a series of interconnected battles waged among bureaucrats, artists, intellectuals, critics, and everyday citizens over the state’s power to regulate and consecrate the field of cultural production, Williams argues that the high-stakes struggles over cultural management fought between the Revolution of 1930 and the fall of the Estado Novo dictatorship centered on the bragging rights to brasilidade—an intangible yet highly coveted sense of Brazilianness. Wil...

Purity Is a Myth

  • Categories: Art

Presenting new scholarship, this publication is an innovative technical study of the Concrete art movement in Latin America. Purity Is a Myth presents new scholarship on Concrete art in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay from the 1940s to the 1960s. Originally coined by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in 1930, the term concrete denotes abstract painting with no reference to external reality. Van Doesburg argued that there was nothing more real than a line, color, or plane. Artists such as Willys de Castro, Lygia Clark, Waldemar Cordeiro, Hermelindo Fiaminghi, Judith Lauand, Raúl Lozza, Tomás Maldonado, Hélio Oiticica, and Rhod Rothfuss would reinvent this concept in postwar Latin America. ...
