Through its vast size, complex history
and ethnic diversity, Brazil’s cultural influences
are wide-ranging and varied. Naïve Art plays an important
part in the expression of the country’s cultural
identity.
For a large part therefore, Brazilian Naïve Art
is inextricably linked to the cultural roots of the country.
With surprising ease, local artists depict extremely diverse
themes, mixing religious rituals, everyday life and extravagant
festivals. Their work is characterized by masterful use
of colour.
This exhibition of works by around fifty artists reveals
the many and varied facets of Brazil, firstly through
colourful landscapes, but also with the representation
of human figures and religious and traditional festivals.
