More than 30 years ago, the coast, this idyllic place, was the scene of her father's sudden and dramatic death. Gabriela had to walk through the landscape of Guincho beach countless times to return to the beach of her childhood, where she experienced her greatest misfortune. She had to tirelessly paint the coastline she now frequents in order to cross the ocean and return to the coast of S\u00e3o Paulo. One wonders why the artist calls these landscapes useless. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Is landscape useful? For philosopher Anne Cauquelin, landscape is learning the reality of the world, the constitution of norms to frame nature in an attempt to control reality within four borders.

In Angola, the calunga means both the sea and the afterlife.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
