Mira Schendel: Monotypes

Brazilian artist Mira Schendel (1919 1988) is one of Latin America s most significant
and prolific postwar artists whose paintings, drawings and sculptures address
themes of existence, language and meaning. Accompanying her 2015 London
exhibition of monotypes, this substantial and elegant exhibition catalog includes
almost 200 color reproductions of these delicate works printed on rice paper.
Giving background to Schendel s history and process is an essay by exhibition
curator Taisa Palhares (co-curator of the Schendel retrospective at the Tate
Modern, 2013). Schendel lived in Milan and Rome before emigrating to Brazil in
1949 and settling in SÃ£o Paulo, where she became part of an intellectual circle
of critics, psychoanalysts, physicists and philosophers many of them Jewish
Ã©migrÃ©s like herself. Schendel was included in the 1968 Venice Biennale and her
work has been exhibited extensively in Brazil, Mexico, E urope and the USA.
