The book written by lawyer and journalist José Armando Pereira da Silva documents the history of the Domus Gallery in Sao Paulo, the first art space to held exhibitions of the modernists. In only four years, from 1947 to 1951, the gallery left a story that needed to be told. Pioneer in organizing the first individual of painter José Antonio da Silva (1909-1996), in 1948, the gallery was opened in the center of Sao Paulo by the Italian couple Anna Maria and Pasquale Fiocca. Its brief existence left as legacy 91 exhibitions, among them painters today consecrated as Bonadei, Volpi, Maria Leontina and Milton Dacosta. There, the Polish sculptor Frans Krajcberg, naturalized Brazilian, had his first exhibition in 1951, three years after arriving in Brazil. Flávio de Carvalho chose Domus as his second home.
