- Summary:
- The book presents a study of the life and work of the Afro-Brazilian painter João Alves Oliveira da Silva, focusing on his trajectory from rural Bahia to his activities as a shoeshiner and artist in Salvador's Pelourinho district. It examines his social context, critical reception, participation in modern art circuits, and the later historiographical recovery of his work, situating him within debates on so-called "primitive" art and Brazilian modernism.
