More Great Works of Art

Print
2007 (printed and published)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

Antonio Claudio Carvalho (born Brazil; lives UK) is best known as a painter and a poet, but is increasingly focused on printmaking - particularly screen printing, often with hand-made additions. His bold colourful work often amalgamates text and image. This portfolio More Great Works of Art offers a playful yet serious commentary on the work and reputation of artists and writers as various as Yves Kelin, Jackson Pollock, Ana Mendieta, Stevie Smith and Henry Miller. Each sequence is best seen and understood when displayed in a grid sequence for the placing of the text/image in each piece is intended to play off the others producing an effect of rhythmic shifts and balances. More Great Works of Art introduces colourful motifs derived from the work of the named artists yet with an added element of playful pastiche. The V&A also has the portfolio which precedes this: Great Works of Art (see E.1378:1 to 14-2010).
