The latter opened the doors of his house and turned it into the Gallery Art Brut, that is formed in an area of the underground scene of the time and hosted Visual and performing artists, poets and all manner of visitors attracted by the new artistic way of thinking. It was from the date of these artists, that began a series of speeches and public actions in the capital paulistana, that would make history in the charcoal Brazil.
