Avant-garde na Bahia

"'Toward the province against the province' was the artistic and intellectual refrain in 1950s Bahia. Many musicians, composers, architects, photographers, painters, and sculptors found a new home in Bahia stimulating young artists in all media towards the 'new', and in turn being stimulated by them. This textbook, filled with photographs, gives an account of the invigorating days of Bahian avant-garde"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
