We noticed that the capital building had some exiting art displays as we were herding the missionaries through the building. We did not have a chance to stop and enjoy the art so we decided to return on one of our p-days.
The art is on every level of the building and down every hall. The following are a few of the pieces that I really enjoyed.
This artist reminds me of Nancy Lund, a watercolor artist in Utah, who is one of few artists that has been allowed to paint on temple square.
Bold color seems to me to be synonymous with much of the art in Brazil.
I always enjoy a portrait
This painting reminds Vernon of the Brazil he experienced when he was here as a missionary.
There are brightly colored homes and businesses all over the country. They are packed in wall to wall everywhere and this picture captures that feeling quite well.
The rolling hills throughout Brazil creates these wonderful roof-top scapes.
This delightful abstract painting reminds me of the umbrellas salesmen that you see between the lanes of traffic on the main streets in Sao Paulo, especially on an overcast day when rain is likely.
The African influence is very prevelant in Brazil. The love of bold colors and pattern I think also comes from Africa.
This is only one of the galleries in the building. The tile floors and the brake up of space in the large open areas throughout the building are as exiting as the art on the walls.
Each level was open to these lower level galleries.
This was the show that had grabbed my interest the most when we rushed through the building the first time.
These paintings must be inspired from the streets of Sao Paulo.
When we first started to navigate through the city the maps looked just like this painting. The longer we are here the more I am falling in love with the color and the patterns of Brazil.
Not my best pose but I like the sculpture in this display. They were just as fun as the paintings.
The display continued on down the stairs. All the tile floors and the stairs throughout the building are made of granite.
Here the p-day gang is gathered at the top of the stairs.
You can see this big mural of the history of Brazil at the bottom of the previous picture. Vernon gives you an idea of the size of it
You may have heard of the flooding that has been devastating the homes of thousands of families in the Northeast of Brazil. While we were here, load after load of relief supplies were being hauled in and was beginning to fill up this side of the entrance to the capital building.
These large wide open areas bathed with light were a nice contrasted to the hall ways of legislative offices.
Here the Halls are climbing the stairs in the main entrance. These images of the Amazon area were quit impressive.
