The catalog for the exhibition José Antônio da Silva: Life is Not Enough features reproductions of paintings from four decades of work by painter José Antonio da Silva, along with an essay signed by curator Denise Mattar and a foreword by Roberto Rugiero. Recurring themes in the artist’s work, such as the dictates of life in the countryside, the exhausting work routine and deforestation, are dealt with in the texts, contributing to its growing recognition in reviews of modern art.
