Day Five- Back to Business

After we all managed to prepare ourselves for the day, we headed to Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil to take in two art exhibits. The first of the two was the work of Abraham Palatinik.

"The Invention of Painting"

These three water-coloresque painting were created by Abraham Palatinik in the 1950's. If I understood correctly, Palatinik began dating a woman who worked in a mental institution with psychotic patients. His work was inspired by her patients. His work continued to evolve with his experiences with the patients.

 This installment was next in his progression. This portion of the exhibit is very similar to the light-box style and is called "Kinechromatic Devices."

 This is a photograph of Abraham Palatinik (Above).

 This is a series of photographs of Abraham's studio. As you can see his medium(s) was/were very diverse.

This three-dimensional piece (above) was created in 1982- the year I was born- I will forever hold it near and dear to my heart.

I took several pictures of live animation inside of the exhibit, but the still shots are pretty impressive. (Below) The silhouette is Sarah in this series of four imagines.

Tomorrow morning we are off again. We will say goodbye to some of the many wonderful Brazilian students we have grown ever so fond of and set out for our next adventure. It will be about a 3 and a half hour journey in our Yaris but I know it will be worth it. Stay tuned, more adventures to come.............
