(Gustavo Martinelli) Na mais pura tradição das Tabulæ Phisyognomicæ da Flora Brasiliensis de Von Martius, ou dos preciosos registros de Percy Lau e de Margaret Mee, Orlando Graeff pertence a uma espécie sob ameaça de extinção e reúne em seus trabalhos as qualidades necessárias aos objetivos da ilustração científica, que são, em última análise, a conexão entre a busca da expressividade e a necessidade do rigor, entre a composição em sua acepção mais artística e a precisão do registro, entre a aventura da criação livre de regras e fórmulas e a indubitabilidade da verdade científica. In the purest tradition of the Tabulæ Phisyognomicæ in Flora Brasiliensis by Von Martius or the precious records by Percy Lau and Margaret Mee, Orlando Graeff belongs to a threatened species and congregates in his works the qualities needed to the goals of scientific illustration, which ultimately are connect the search for expressivity with the need for rigor, the composition in its most artistic acceptation with record accuracy, the adventure of creation freed from rules and formulas with the indisputability of scientific truth.

Book excerpt: Brazil is a huge country which occupies half a continent and contains major rivers, rich mineral resources, and a large segment of tropical forest. It has been a colony, an Empire, and a democratic and dictatorial republic. The country has experienced rapid economic development this century but still retains an active agricultural frontier. Brazil is experiencing rapid urbanization but the elegant apartment blocks stand in sharp contrast to the nation's shanty towns and its acute rural poverty. The Brazilian population includes Amerindians, descendants of African slaves, and immigrants from Portugal and other parts of Europe. This work is a fully revised and updated edition of the 1985 original volume.

This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2022, the Landscape Architecture course in Portugal celebrated 80 years of existence. This edited collection, Portuguese Landscape Architecture Education, Heritage and Research, commemorates this important milestone by bringing together some of the most respected names in Portuguese Landscape Architecture. Although the book’s content is targeted at the assessment of the Portuguese history and influence, the themes under analysis are all-encompassing within the major fields, namely pedagogy; heritage; theory and methods; and design and landscape planning and management. The book seeks to address several research questions, including How has Landscape Architecture evolved in Portugal and how has it been revealed in the different disciplinary areas and educational institutions, particularly considering the great challenges of today? What legacy did Cabral, Sousa da Câmara and the first generation of landscape architects leave us that can be identified in the theory and practice of research projects, recent or ongoing, carried out by Portuguese landscape architects? How has the education, research and practice of Landscape Architecture in Portugal been influenced or reflected by the exchange of knowledge with other countries? This book will be of interest to researchers and students, as it encompasses an extensive contribution to the field of Landscape Architecture studies, aiming to impact both on the theory and practice of the discipline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernity in Black and White provides a groundbreaking account of modern art and modernism in Brazil. Departing from previous accounts, mostly restricted to the elite arenas of literature, fine art and architecture, the book situates cultural debates within the wider currents of Brazilian life. From the rise of the first favelas, in the 1890s and 1900s, to the creation of samba and modern carnival, over the 1910s and 1920s, and tracking the expansion of mass media and graphic design, into the 1930s and 1940s, it foregrounds aspects of urban popular culture that have been systematically overlooked. Against this backdrop, Cardoso provides a radical re-reading of Antropofagia and other modernist currents, locating them within a broader field of cultural modernization. Combining extensive research with close readings of a range of visual cultural production, the volume brings to light a vast archive of art and images, all but unknown outside Brazil.

Download or read book In Search of the Amazon written by Seth Garfield and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronicling the dramatic history of the Brazilian Amazon during the Second World War, Seth Garfield provides fresh perspectives on contemporary environmental debates. His multifaceted analysis explains how the Amazon became the object of geopolitical rivalries, state planning, media coverage, popular fascination, and social conflict. In need of rubber, a vital war material, the United States spent millions of dollars to revive the Amazon's rubber trade. In the name of development and national security, Brazilian officials implemented public programs to engineer the hinterland's transformation. Migrants from Brazil's drought-stricken Northeast flocked to the Amazon in search of work. In defense of traditional ways of life, longtime Amazon residents sought to temper outside intervention. Garfield's environmental history offers an integrated analysis of the struggles among distinct social groups over resources and power in the Amazon, as well as the repercussions of those wartime conflicts in the decades to come.

Download or read book Modernity in Black and White written by Rafael Cardoso and published by . This book was released on 2020-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book provides a deeper understanding of modern art in the Brazilian context, moving the focus away from the self-declared avant-gardes and towards a broad panorama of modernizing tendencies throughout the period, 1890 to 1945. The backdrop of sertão, favelas, carnival and samba - often left out of accounts that restrict readings of modernism to erudite arenas like literature, fine art or architecture - are foregrounded in an attempt to situate artistic discourses within the social and political struggles of the period. Race, class and ideological conflict are given priority as tools for deconstructing complex debates, too often taken at face value or misread as merely reflexive of European phenomena. The anthropophagic movement (Antropofagia) rates special attention in teasing out the meanings of primitivism in the Brazilian context. The book examines a range of visual cultural materials including paintings, periodicals, graphics and photographs, revealing a hidden archive that calls into question the very essence of how modernism is usually perceived in Brazil. The enduring presence of archaism and violence behind an appearance of modernity reveals itself to be not an anomaly, but rather a product of the tensions inherent to the enduring oligarchical structures of Brazilian culture and society"--
