Brazil
Living in the village of Bezerros, Pernambuco state, in Northeastern Brazil, Borges is Brazil's best-known folk artist working in the wood-cut medium, and his work has been exhibited all over the world. We offer a selection of Borges' humorous and fanciful wood-cut prints, as well as prints by members of his family and other Brazilian print-makers.
We were fortunate to acquire a significant collection of hand-carved wooden milagre (miracle) ex-votos from the states of Ceará and Pernambuco, in northeastern Brazil. Don't miss this unusual folk art!
