The Force of Fire: A conversation with Paulo Darzé about his new exhibition of Mario Cravo’s sculptures made from charred wood
In this solo show in Bahia’s capital, the restless and prolific ninety-four-year-old artist displays seventy sculptures made with the charred wood he collected from the fire that wrecked two historic colonial public buildings in the mid-1970s and 1980s and that scarred the daily life of the inhabitants of Salvador, his native town.
