    I found this at a thrift store. When I googled Prestigie Arte no Brasil nothing comes up.
    When I put it in google translate it comes out - Prestige Art No Brasil - basically the same thing with correct english spelling.
    Also, on the bottom there is something about a tv show/shows or a channel it will be on. I figure it has to do with art; is it a poster against art - or nudity? Or maybe something about the original Brazilians; because the nude girl on the poster gas what looks like tribal tattoos or make up?
    Is it rare? When I put the title in with poster at the end I don't see this one anywhere?
    Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

    It's a poster advertising a series of events promoting Brazilian art -- an exhibit at San Paulo Art Museum, a series of TV programs and a book. All under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture.

    Some of old exhibition posters can be quite rare and have historical value.
    In theory, if you are interested to have more details about the poster, you can inquire from the museum so that they can find the date of that particular exhibition

    I did a quick internet search of Yahoo Brazil and couldn't find anything to confirm date. Might be 1979 which would work with graphics. Given it's a government-related poster, likely has date in mice type somewhere along edge.

    See there's another clue that might help date. There appears to be a caption next to featured photograph. Would you tell us what it says?

    Thank you - and with the ministry of culture I guess the tv show will be about the native Brazilian tribal art?
    Thanks all!

    The part of the girl is intended as modern photographic art, not necessarily as a representation of an indigenous girl. The poster is for an exhibition of prestige art in Brazilian, maybe modern art. 'no Brazil' is 'in Brazil' in Brazilian Portuguese.
    Maureen Bisilliat is a photographer, born in the UK in 1931, she now has dual nationality, the Brazilian as well. She has had exhibitions in Brazil and internationally. Since she is important to Brazilian art, it would be right to include her work in an exhibition of art in Brazil.
    The tv show was on a culture channel, 26 weekly shows, and was linked to the exhibition. I think it was about modern art in Brazil in general, or this exhibition in particular. Maybe it featured the artists separately, I don't know.
    The secratariat (not ministry) of culture, science and technology, is the one for the state of Sao Paolo, not for all of Brazil.
