Description: This work is part of an early series devoted to the banana, which the artist considers “the symbol of Brazil.” At a time of great instability in the art world, when Pop Art, Op Art, Conceptual Art, and Neofiguration have come and gone in rapid succession, Amaral has achieved a personal style of expression that, though genuinely Brazilian in feeling, at the same time bears an international accent. -Text by Felix Angel
