Hélio Oiticica (1937-1980) was an essential protagonist in the development of the " Tropicalia" art movement of 60's Brasil. His career charts a lifetime of artistic experimentation. From the late 1950s, he produced art to feel and art to wear and, from the 1960s, art to inhabit. This was the culmination of his efforts to infuse art with real life, drawing inspiration from everyday materials and real experiences.
*"Parangoles" of the late 1960s. Made of richly colored fabrics, these are meant to be worn in parades or while dancing the samba or in moments of private, slow-motion reverie.
