Vicente do Rego Monteiro, pintor e poeta1994

"Monteiro's work was influenced by a number of different styles and movements: futurism, cubism, Japanese woodblock prints, African tribal art, Brazilian baroque, indigenous art from Marajó island, and the School of Paris (he was the finest Brazilian representative of the latter). He was also a poet, participated in the Semana de Arte Moderna 1922, and became, over the following decades, one of the most accomplished Brazilian artists of this century. An array of the finest Brazilian and French intellectuals, critics, and art historians contributed texts to this book. Includes excellent reproductions and an extensive bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
