The Best of Brazil 01 55686x Ch01.qxd 3/19/04 9:08 AM Page 6 1 The Best of Brazil There’s a joke Brazilians like to tell: When the world was created, one of the archangels peered over God’s shoulder at the work in progress and couldn’t help noticing that one country had been especially favored. “You’ve given everything to Brazil,” the archangel said. “It has the longest beaches, the largest river, the biggest forest, the best soil. The weather’s always warm and sunny, with no floods, hurricanes, or natural disasters at all. Don’t you think that’s a little unfair?” “Ah,” God replied, “just wait until you see the people I’m putting there.” Accuracy rarely comes with a punch line, but there’s a significant grain of truth in that tale. Brazil as a nation is unusually blessed. Five thousand miles of coastline—some of it packed with cafes and partygoers, but long stretches bliss- fully empty. Rainforests and wetlands teem with exotic critters. Some of the old- est cities and civic architecture in the New World (and one of the newest cities in the entire world) are here. Restaurants match the snobbiest standards, with regional cuisines that have yet to be discovered in culinary capitals like New York or L.A. Music lovers could make Brazil a lifetime study. And let’s not forget a lit- tle thing called Carnaval. And about those Brazilians: They work as hard as anyone in the First World, and many a good deal harder. In recent years Brazil has devoted time and resources to improving its tourism infrastructure, reflected in the new airports, hotels, and inns that have sprung up around the country. Yet no one could accuse Brazilians of worshipping efficiency. They’d much rather get along than get things done; the goal is, above all, harmony. Harmony can mean an entire Sunday spent watching soccer, or afternoons off for quality time with your buddies at the beach. It can mean countless hours of effort for a single night’s party. But above all, harmony mandates never taking anything all that seriously. And at this, Brazilians excel. Read on to discover some of the best this country has to offer. 1 The Most Unforgettable Travel Experiences • Attend Carnaval in Rio: The and food, drink, and eye candy will biggest party in the world; whether come to you.

    TRADIÇÃO E DIÁLOGO: ANÁLISE DO BAIXO-RELEVO DA IGREJA SÃO FRANCISCO DE ASSIS Gisele Guedes / Mestranda PPG–Artes UFMG Rodrigo Vivas / UFMG RESUMO O presente trabalho analisa o baixo-relevo realizado por Alfredo Ceschiatti que figura como espaço interno no bastistério da Igreja São Francisco de Assis em Belo Horizonte, cuja construção data de 1943. Executados por Ceschiatti em 1944, a obra é composta por quatro painéis de bronze fixados sobre uma estrutura em formato curvilíneo que delimita o batistério. O objetivo é levantar a iconografia da cena representada, relacionando os temas tradicionalmente situados no batistério e a opção temática feita pelo artista em recusar tal tradição e oferecer uma proposta inovadora. Outro aspecto presente na investigação, considerando-a em termos de “função” e “destinação”, será compreender seu significado enquanto espaço reservado à prática do sacramento católico denominado batismo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE Igreja São Francisco de Assis; iconografia; Alfredo Ceschiatti. ABSTRACT The present work analyzes the bas-relief made by Alfredo Ceschiatti appearing as internal space in the baptistery of St. Francis of Assisi Church in Belo Horizonte, whose construction dates from 1943. Executed by Ceschiatti in 1944, the work is composed by four bronze panels mounted on a curvy shaped structure that delimits the baptistery. The purpose is to withdraw the iconography of the scene represented by relating the themes traditionally located in the baptistery and the thematic option made by the artist to refuse such tradition and offer an innovative proposal. Another aspect present in the investigation, considering it in terms of “function” and “destination” of this art work, is to understand its meaning as placeholder to the practice of the catholic sacrament called baptism.

  • Chapter.11.Brazilian Cdr.Cdr
    BRAZIL Chapter 11 Art, Literature and Poetry Brazil was colonized by Portugal in the middle of the 16th century. In those early times, owing to the primitive state of Portuguese civilization there, not much could be done in regard to art expression. The original inhabitants of the land, pre-Columbian Indigenous peoples, most likely produced various forms of art, but very little is known about this. Little remains, except from elaborate feather items used as body adornments by all different tribes and specific cultures like the Marajoara, who left sophisticated painted pottery. So, Brazilian art - in the Western sense of art - began in the late 16th century and, for the greater part of its evolution until early 20th century, depended wholly on European standards. 170 BRAZIL Pre-Columbian traditions Main article: Indigenous peoples in Brazil Santarém culture. Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi Bororo Indian with feather headdress and body painting 171 BRAZIL The oldest known art in Brazil is the cave paintings in Serra da Capivara National Park in the state of Piauí, dating back to c. 13,000 BC. More recent examples have been found in Minas Gerais and Goiás, showing geometric patterns and animal forms. One of the most sophisticated kinds of Pre- Columbian artifact found in Brazil is the sophisticated Marajoara pottery (c. 800–1400 AD), from cultures flourishing on Marajó Island and around the region of Santarém, decorated with painting and complex human and animal reliefs. Statuettes and cult objects, such as the small carved-stone amulets called muiraquitãs, also belong to these cultures. The Mina and Periperi cultures, from Maranhão and Bahia, produced interesting though simpler pottery and statuettes.

  • BIOGRAFIA DE UMA PAISAGEM CULTURAL: Conjunto Moderno Da Pampulha
    BIOGRAFIA DE UMA PAISAGEM CULTURAL: Conjunto Moderno da Pampulha ROCHA FÉRES, Luciana. 1. UFMG - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Doutoranda do Programa de Pós-graduação em Ambiente Construído e Patrimônio Sustentável. [email protected]. RESUMO O artigo apresenta e discute a abordagem biográfica dos lugares tendo como objeto de estudo o Conjunto Moderno da Pampulha, localizado na cidade de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. A partir da abordagem biográfica dos lugares, o artigo visa problematizar e discutir o conceito de paisagem cultural no campo da preservação do patrimônio. E demonstrar como a sociedade e essa paisagem cultural estão atrelados, conectados, e ainda como os significados e valores foram acumulados e transformados ao longo do tempo mediante o processo de patrimonialização. A proposta de leitura biográfica da patrimonialização dessa paisagem cultural apresenta-se como uma possibilidade de análise e interpretação do Conjunto Moderno da Pampulha que considera os seus diversos tempos, valores e significados. O Conjunto Moderno foi concebido na década de 1940, pelo arquiteto Oscar Niemeyer e pelo paisagista Roberto Burle Marx e foi inscrito na Lista do Patrimônio Cultural Mundial da UNESCO (Organização das Nações Unidas para a Ciência, Educação e Cultura) em julho de 2016, na tipologia Paisagem Cultural. As paisagens culturais são compostas dos aspectos materiais e simbólicos, constituindo-se na relação entre a sociedade e o meio. Tal relação é dinâmica e está em constante mudança. O artigo pretende problematizar e instigar o debate acerca da biografia das paisagens culturais, e tem o objetivo de contribuir para a teoria e prática da preservação do patrimônio. Palavras-chave: biografia dos lugares; paisagem cultural mundial; preservação patrimônio moderno; Conjunto Moderno da Pampulha.

  • Alfredo Ceschiatti E O Conjunto Moderno Da
    ALFREDO CESCHIATTI E O CONJUNTO MODERNO DA BARRAGEM PAMPULHA EM BELO HORIZONTE-MG: dados biográficos e proposta de homenagem toponímica em parque urbano municipal no entorno VAGNER LUCIANO DE ANDRADE1 RESUMO: O Conjunto Moderno da Pampulha em Belo Horizonte - MG não é apenas um patrimônio arquitetônico e cultural da mineiridade, mas de todo país e também do mundo. Este legado modernista empreendido durante os anos de 1940 contou com grandes nomes, dentre os quais, Alfredo Ceschiatti. Assim como Cardoso, Niemeyer e Portinari, este conceituado escultor também foi parcialmente reconhecido com homenagens à logradouros públicos. Mas isso não se consolidou nas adjacências da barragem. Assim o presente trabalho visa uma revisão dos dados biográficos do escultor no sentido de se discutir e apresentar propostas de homenagem toponímica em um parque urbano municipal no entorno. Metodologicamente, o trabalho reforça a importância do projeto de lei como instrumento de legitimidade da democracia, para sequencialmente perpassar pela vida e obra do mineiro Ceschiatti, propondo que ele seja homenageado com a promulgação de instrumento legal que renomeie o parque Enseada das Garças. A proposta reforça os múltiplos diálogos entre cultura e ecologia, no sentido de reconhecimento de grandes feitos pretéritos do conjunto moderno e o dimensionamento de um futuro mais equânime e sustentável para a barragem. Palavras-chave: Cultura, Ecologia, Projeto de Lei, Toponímia, Unidades de Conservação. ABSTRACT: The Modern Complex of Pampulha in Belo Horizonte - MG is not only an architectural and cultural heritage of mining, but from all over the country and also the world. This modernist legacy undertaken during the 1940s had great names, including Alfredo Ceschiatti.
