Rio, Pena E Pincel - by Ruy Castro, Leonel Brayner and Heloisa Seixas

Looks that reveal the contours and soul of Rio.

A book that brings together literature and visual arts to talk about the history, settings and human landscape of the city of Rio de Janeiro.

The edition brings together a series of chronicles, beautiful reproductions of paintings by realist painter Leonel Brayner, which portrays the city at different times (from the 19th century to the present day).

Three perspectives that come together to celebrate and reveal the contours and soul of Rio. In this geographical and temporal journey, celebrated places such as Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Enseada de Botafogo, Copacabana promenade and other mysterious places come into play, such as the slopes of Santa Teresa, Praia Formosa and the port of Rio.

This work thus presents a rich and poetic panel about the city, its culture and idiosyncrasies, revering the permanence of Rio's landscape at the same time as it reveals a hidden city, which transforms and remains intact as a wonderfully beautiful and contradictory.
