my friend allison gave me this great book on brazilian artist beatriz milhazes. beatriz “uses tropical fauna and flora, folk art, craft, jewellery, embroidery, lace, {and} carnival and colonial baroque as her major thematic sources”. here are some photos from the book, including one of beatriz’s studio.
My goodness, the patterns and colours are amazing.
gorgeous colors! thanks for sharing.
This is great. I have loved her work for years but have never found a book about her. Just random articles in magazines, though admittedly with more frequency lately. I’m going to get it right now. Thanks for the tip!
