This painting is a portfolio of twenty woodcuts. It was created by José Costa Leite in 1968. The woodcuts were made as part of a project called Popular Woodcuts of the Northeast, which suggests a connection to the artist's roots in Brazil. This project had an introduction by Ariano Suassuna, which might indicate the woodcuts' significance. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique: woodcut.
