White Bird 2003

"White Bird" is a 2003 painting by Brazilian artist Aldemir Martins (1922-2006). The artwork depicts a stylized white bird with a long, thin beak standing on a green hill against a bright blue sky. The bird’s body is adorned with vibrant circular patterns in various colors. Martins’ use of bold colors and simple forms creates a lively and playful composition characteristic of his later works, often exploring Brazilian folklore and landscape. This piece demonstrates Martins’ mastery of color and his ability to capture the essence of nature with a whimsical touch.
