Le Brésil rassemble certaines des manifestations d'art populaire les plus créatives au monde. Publié pour accompagner l'exposition de la collection de Rolf Fehlbaum au Vitra Campus, An Art of Resilience fait connaître cet art du peuple étonnant à travers les œuvres de Mestre Vitalino, Zé Caboclo, Adolton et Ulisses. Trois groupes principaux d'objets sont traités dans l'ouvrage : le spectacle Bumba Meu Boi, le cortège du carnaval de Maracatu et les raids cruels des cangaceiros autour de Lampião et Maria Bonita. Les œuvres sont accompagnées d'essais rédigés par les anthropologues brésiliens Ricardo Lima et Guacira Waldeck.

This new publication documents Rolf Fehlbaum`s collection of popular art from Brazil. They are on display in the "Wunderkammer", a gallery of special objects from the world of popular culture, located on the Vitra Campus. Rather than representing the full scope of Brazilian popular art this collection is based on specific personal choices that were formed by the first pieces, which were by Mestre Vitalino, Zé Caboclo, Adolton and Ulisses.

While most of the objects deal individually with different aspects of life, there are three groups of objects that are treated separately: the Bumba Meu Boi spectacle, the Maracatu carnival procession, and the cruel raids of the cangaceiros around Lampião and Maria Bonita. The groups are accompanied by essays written by the Brazilian anthropologists Ricardo Lima and Guacira Waldeck.
