Carlos Bracher (1940-), one of the most renowned contemporary artists from Brazil, comes from a Swiss family, which immigrated to Brazil in 1980. Born in 1940 in Juiz de Fora, Bracher went to Europe in the 1960s where he mostly stayed in Paris, Lisbon, Saint Petersburg and Moscow. Over the last decade he has had exhibitions in Luxembourg, Brussels, Bruges, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Prague, Moscow, Basel, Rotterdam, Tokyo and Beijing. This title is a very personal portrait of the artist published by Nicolai on the occasion of the focus on Brazil: host of the FIFA World Cup in 2014 as well as host of the Olympic Games in 2016. The publication of the work was generously supported by Servico Social da Industria (SESI).
