Colorful as Carmen Miranda, the paintings of Beatriz Milhazes are a m lange of iconographic Brazilian imagery, drawing from folk art, crafts, jewelry, tropical nature and the splash of carnival, all... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Beatriz Milhazes is a fabulous young artist and I am glad to have this book which includes a lengthy interview with her by fashion designer Christian Lacroix (the text of this book is in both English & French) and a description and photos of the artists' studio and certain of her paintings while she the artist is at work on them. Since this is a small book in dimensions (approx. 9 1/2 x 7 inches) the photos are smaller scale than would be nice to see of her large paintings---but the book is what it is-- so a complaint about the image quality is really pointless. I am just glad to have the information on this wonderful on important artist now, and I am sure that in more advanced stages of her career there will be large coffee table books of her work with glossy big pictures in them.
