Description:
Blending formal rigor with stringent activism, Krajcberg's six-decade-long oeuvre centers his deep connection to nature and his advocacy for the Amazon rainforests
A pioneer in the integration of art and ecology, Polish Brazilian artist Frans Krajcberg (1921-2017) was a trailblazer in raising visibility around environmental issues, working with remnants of tree trunks, vines and charred wood, denouncing forest fires and the violence of extractivism.
