He was also the father of Oscar-nominated actress Glenn Close and husband of Bettine Moore Close."

19920199São Paulo, BM&F, 1992. Revised edition. In English. One hardcover volume, 285 x 225 mm, 254 pp. Illustrated dust jacket with flaps. Headbands. Printed on couché paper, well illustrated with black and white photographs and color prints of artworks, including a b&w photo of Victor Brecheret, Di Cavalcanti, Menotti del Picchia, Oswald de Andrade and Hélio Seelinger as frontispiece. Published as part of the celebration of the seventieth anniversary of the Modern Art Week of 1922. "This book has blazed new paths towards a comprehensive and fertile understanding. It was originally published in 1970 and now, after so many years, the abridged text of this edition still preserves a pioneering stamp that could only be achieved through sensitivity and a steadfast prospecting of sources. In the field of plastic arts, what would be the meaning of a cultural construction of Brazil? Would it imply highlighting certain subjects? The fundamental contribution of the modernists was precisely the fact that it posed the problem of national culture."
