Maria Brito (A Ver)

Description:

"A painter, sculptor, and installation artist, María Brito is best known for intricate mixed-media constructions that embody narratives of displacement and loss. ... Her works include large complex installations, self-portraits dense with symbolism, and clay sculptures that combine allegory and caricature in a wry critique of art, politics, and everyday life. Each is an autobiographical statement situated within the artist's profound fluency in the history of Western art. [author], who focuses on Brito's unique interplay of the personal and the universal, highlights her as an artist who challenges, cultural, social, and artistic barriers."--Book jacket.
