Critics Review
ENDORSEMENTS
“This book provides a much-needed and astute account of a fundamental chapter in the history of Brazilian art, a period when rapid technological change opened the doors to a new type of art, while political repression forced artists to find ever more inventive ways to avoid censorship.

—Gabriel Perez-Barreiro, Artistic Director, Museo Universidad de Navarra
