Summary:

Uniting artistic interpretations, landscapes and botanical knowledge, the architect and researcher Ana Carolina Carmona Ribeiro brings a multidisciplinary approach on plant species represented by the eyes of artists who for almost 100 years (in Semana de Arte Moderna de 1922) inaugurated the modernist movement in Brazil, such as Lasar Segall, Anita Malfatti, Tarsila do Amaral, Mário de Andrade, Oswald de Andrade and many others. The plants covered in this guide are represented both scientifically, through the images of their exsiccates (samples of dried plants from herbariums of Brazil and the world), as well as through various artistic manifestations: poems, drawings, paintings, testimonies, letters and photographs of modernists. The eauthor presents 19 plants that, when they become "plant symbols", point to new relations between nature and culture - transforming themselves, in the 1920s and 30s, into fundamental elements for a project of "rediscovery" of Brazil.. "This is not a conventional botanical guide. Despite having a list of species, scientific names in Latin and using words such as "morphology", "occurrence" and other specialized terms, what we intend is to show that, in addition to science, art with its multiple forms and manifestations can also be a form of knowledge and reflection on flora and, more broadly, on reality itself."
