Publication focusing on 110 of Brazil's most important practitioners in the realm of the fine arts, including artists, gallerists, heads of institutions, critical thinkers and collectors. Extensively illustrated and based on research, it provides a survey of trends and key players at the end of the 20th and start of the 21st century, placing them in the context of tropicalismo and neo-concretismo, the two movements that first brought the Brazilian art scene to international attention in the 1960s
