The soul of Brazil

Brazil Body and Soul is a 600 page tome that covers Brazil's artistic history from the early 1500's until the 1990's. The book is filled with intelligentlly detailed writing and artistically lush with photographs. This is a book (not a skimpy museum catalog) for anyone interested in the art and culture of Brazil; or a useful reference tool for someone interested in the arts of this grand nation. When you purchase this book, I believe you will pleasantly amazed by the arts throughout the centuries in Brazil. This is not a book for those who only want to look at photos or decorate their coffee tables; this is for those who want to expand their horizons of the Americas.
