The art of Mira Schendel
The late Brazilian artist Mira Schendel was born in Switzerland, travelled to São Paulo, and then devoted her life to making intricate, prolific, gnomic artworks in her living-room. In 2013, I flew to Brazil to investigate her life, her times and her legacy for Guardian Review, ahead of a major show at Tate Modern.
