About the Item
A large stunning painting from the legendary Amazonian artist Moacir Andrade "A Lenda Do Pacu" (The legend of the Pacu)

Moacir Andrade was born in 1927 and was a painter, writer, poet, artist, teacher and designer. He was self-taught in painting and painted in and around the Amazon focusing on the people, wildlife and the environment. His work is similar in style to Aboriginal art and is highly decorative in bright colours usually with Amazonian animals, flowers, fauna and local legends.
In 1942, he studied drawing at the Technical School of Manaus. He graduated in Museology from the National Historical Museum in Rio de Janeiro. In 1954
His works portrayed the scenery, life and customs of the Amazon region. He painted portraits of Manaus from ancient times and of life on the borders of the Amazon. He has exhibited in more than 70 countries since 1941 until his death in 2016 and due to his contribution and importance for the history and culture of Brazil, the Amazon Institute paid homage to the artist with a large exhibition at the Feira do Paço in 2017.
His works hang in many museums all over the world and since his death and the recent surge of interest in Brazilian art and design his artwork is now very sought after and pieces of this size, subject and detail are hard to find.

Balinese Folk Festival ceremonial procession, Ink and acrylic paint on canvas.
Batuan painting evolved in the 1930s after a group of local villagers tested different forms with ink-washed paintings upon black backgrounds. These paintings often reveal Batuan’s cultural life, directly through their elements of line, shape, and tone. Meticulous design, craftsmanship, and strong visual impression are characteristic of the style.
The painting comprise individual shapes which are painted in a precise and systematic manner that does not leave any empty space. The complexity of the paintings is inevitable as each of the strokes, lines, gradations, the characters or the subjects forms a delicate unity that finely balances the figure-filled canvas. Various gradations of colors separate different sections of the painting. The landscape is enticing and endless.
