New documentary celebrates the boundary-pushing work of late Brazilian artist Amélia Toledo
Director Hélio Goldsztejn's film traces the career of the Brazilian artist, who explored crystals, shells, and geometric abstraction over six decades.
Brazilian artist Amélia Toledo, a major figure in 20th-century Latin American art, is the subject of a new documentary directed by Hélio Goldsztejn. The film chronicles a career spanning more than sixty years, marked by an tireless exploration of materials and forms, from assemblages of crystals, shells, and stones to geometric abstraction and photography. Toledo, who died in 2017, left a prolific body of work that moved across various movements without ever being confined to a single category.
