Summary

This is the first book dedicated to the work of pioneering Brazilian artist Madalena Santos Reinbolt (1919-1977), spanning from the 1950s to the 1970s. The artist is recognized for her intricate embroideries made with hundreds of vibrant threads of color--the so-called "wool pictures." In them, Santos Reinbolt represented everyday life in the countryside and in the city, populated by Black characters: gatherings, festivities, celebrations, religiosities, and collective meals. This publication includes four essays and a biographical note written especially for the occasion, plus a historical text, as well as reproductions of 53 of the artist's works. Despite her rich and unique production, Santos Reinbolt remained on the fringes of the traditional art circuits in her lifetime, and it is only recently that her work began to attract more attention and recognition. This book accompanies the artist's first solo exhibition, held at Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand, and seeks to reposition her in the history of Brazilian art in the second half of the twentieth century from a more diverse and plural perspective. -- Provided by the publisher.
