In continuation of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Genaro de Carvalho, under the curatorship of Denise Mattar, Galeria Passado Composto Século XX expands the eponymous exhibition presented at the SP-Arte booth into its permanent gallery space, incorporating visual artists and tapestry makers whose work connects with that of the honored artist.
The dialogues established here unfold on multiple levels: from the mythical Jean Lurçat, who, as early as the 1950s, recognized Genaro´s talent, to contemporaneous artists who shared the magic of Bahia, such as Carlos Bastos, Mário Cravo Jr., and Mirabeau Sampaio, extending to tapestry artists who followed the path opened by him, continuing his legacy-such as Gilda Azevedo, Jean Gillon, Jorge Cravo, Maria Helena Andrés, Rubem Dario, and Sylvio Palma-united by a shared fascination with Brazilian tropicality.
One of the missions of the Gallery is to rescue memory and value national historical design and tapestry and, therefore, is a precursor to holding exhibitions in honor of Brazilian masters, designers and modern artists.
Its exhibitions generate book publications through the Gallery by its own research and curation and by guest curators. The Gallery also produces short documentaries about its exhibitions and releases other short films and interviews related to its favorite designers and artists.
The traditional brand Passado Composto was founded in 1988 by antique dealer Cida Santana on Rua da Consolação, São Paulo, Brazil.
From the foundation until 2002, her daughter Maria das Graças S. Bueno was responsible for the international acquisition of antiques for the family business in Brazil. In 2002, Graça founded her second location on Alameda Lorena, in Jardins, São Paulo, Galeria Passado Composto Século XX, focusing on modern Brazilian furniture and artistic ta pestries from the 20th century.
