- Summary:
- The book examines the work and career of Brazilian painter Elisa Martins da Silveira (1912-2001), focusing on how her production has been labeled as "primitive" or "naive" and how it relates to modern art in Brazil in the 1950s. Through analysis of works held in public and private collections, it discusses her formal choices, institutional recognition and later neglect, and her participation in the Grupo Frente and debates on figurative and abstract art. The study also surveys exhibitions and critical reception in order to reassess her contribution to Brazilian painting in the second half of the twentieth century.
