"Exhibition catalog devoted to the entire output of Lasar Segall is currently the most comprehensive overview of the artist and his work. The exhibition itself, one of the most complete retrospectives of Segall ever displayed, was seen only in Chicago and New York. Texts cover Segall's immigration to Germany (1905) and to Brazil (1924), and his artistic biography, highlighting his participation in the Dresdner Sezession as a key figure in the development of German expressionism and his subsequent significance in Brazilian modernism. Includes supplementary documentation, as well as a large number of photographs, ephemera, and publications. The exhibition included over 220 paintings, watercolors, prints, and drawings; virtually all of them are reproduced here in color or b/w"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
