Summary:
Beatriz Milhazes (born 1960) merges the bright chromatic exhilarations of her native Brazil with a conscious reappraisal of the history of abstract painting. Applying paint to canvas not with a brush but via the application of plastic sheets, Milhazes has developed a style that allows her to invest even the most traditional of painterly themes with a freshness and energy. This volume reproduces her treatment of the four seasons, inspired by the weather cycles of Rio, where winter registers as a change in mood rather than in temperature.
