The 40 years of the MNBA Engraving Office

The next day 13 July, Fourth, from 15h, the National Museum of Fine Arts/Ibram will promote a live celebrating the 40 years of creation of its Engraving Office.

The visual artist will participate in the live broadcast, recorder, and curator Carlos Martins; the historian Laura Abreu, who worked for several years in the Engraving Office of the Museum. The mediation is from the MNBA educator, Rossano Antenuzzi.

From the need to classify the entire collection of MNBA prints, in 1982 engraver Carlos Martins was invited to create the Gabinete, when a mapping of the entire engraving collection was carried out, with the survey of its potentialities and gaps, opening space for the inclusion of new artists and names in contemporary printmaking. To give visibility to the collection, an exhibition with works from the Museum toured Brazil.
