1 Biography Artist Mario Cravo Neto in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil He moved to Germany, where his father, the sculptor Mario Cravo Jr., was participating in the Artist in Residence program, in Berlin. It was during this period that Cravo Neto began his first experiences with sculpture and photography. He returned to Brazil He lived in New York and studied at the Art Students League, under the direction of artist Jack Krueger he participated in the XII Bienal of Sâo Paulo with a large earth-based installation he had first essayed in New York. The work to come included installations and performance, primarily fueled by exhibitions of black-and-white and color photography concerned with Afro-Brazilian culture He devoted himself to the creation of in situ land art projects A near-fatal car accident left Cravo Neto with both legs immobilized for an entire year. During this period he initiated a series of small-scale models of his three-dimensional works and focused his energies on studio portraits and the appropriation of objects for use in his installations and photographic compositions. From this period emerged a unique authorial work, which Cravo Neto created out of the integration he choreographed between characters and objects: the results of which could be called as black and white photo-sculptures. Mario Cravo Neto has been journeying through the deep waters of the unconscious and his own creative world, producing an oeuvre that expresses the culture of Bahia Critically considered among the most influential Brazilian artists of his time Mario Cravo Neto died August 9th in Salvador, Bahia. 1

1968-1970 He lived in New York and studied at the Art Students League, under the direction of artist Jack Krueger.
