This piece of Art was created by Beatriz Milhazes, and was called My Baby. It was created in the year 2000. As stated on page 31, “she pulls together into geometrical composition the shapes and forms of Brazilian culture.” She also states that “she is interested in color, and when you add one more color conflict is created.” And states that “there is constant movement to your eyes, to your self, to your body and like it.” Which is something you need to understand to connect with the artist and her work. It can be overwhelming and you wont understand why she uses the colors and shapes she uses. And the tradition she invokes in her work, expressing her Brazilian heritage in all her work. So in this painting the form is simply the shapes and colors. But deeper than that the content is why she used the colors and shaped that she did to express herself.
