GRETTA'S BEHIND THE SCENES - SELF PORTRAIT OF BRAZIL
Portraits and statements of 50 personages 1981-1983
During the late 1970's Gretta began to shuttle between Europe and Brazil, showing in group and one woman exhibitions in most of the important European art capitals. The work was intended to be an objective and representative image of the country without any political connotations. She quickly came to the realization that few people knew anything about her country.
This discovery combined with her belief that Brazilians do not value their own culture highly enough, lead her on a single-minded effort to capture the spirit of Brazil in a series of portraits depicting the 50 most prominent and legendary people of Brazil, at that time.
