Mira Schendel (1919-1988)



Mira Schendel was a Swiss-born Brazilian artist, who created artwork that addressed language as a major visual subject matter. Her work is most often exhibited alongside Leรณn Ferrari, whose creations are very similar to Schendel's in that he also used letters of the alphabet to make masterpieces. Schendel's art caught my eye from a distance because of the odd yet interesting shapes and patterns she creates. The closer you look, you can tell that all she uses is letters to make a picture - visual poetry.
