 This collection features fine art greeting cards. The set highlights prominent 20th-century Latin American artists, including Djanira Motta e Silva’s workers in the cocoa harvest (Trabalhadores de Cacau), Aldemir Martins’ stylized rooster (Galo), Pedro Lobo’s festive night scene (Noite de São João), and Pablo Burchard Filho’s bustling open-air market (Feira Livre). These cards were part of a sophisticated editorial effort to popularize modern Brazilian art through high-quality graphic reproductions. Each card showcases the vibrant colors and regional themes—ranging from rural labor to folklore—that define the Mid-Century Modern and Naïve art movements in South America. These items serve as both collectible graphic ephemera and accessible examples of works held in major international museums.
