Product Description
A wonderful signed Brazilian folk art woodcut print by Ivan Borges, featuring a traditional coconut harvester beneath towering coconut palms and a radiant, stylized sun.
The work is titled “O Tirador de Côco,” which can be translated as “The Coconut Picker” or “The Coconut Harvester.” The scene celebrates everyday life and labor in Brazil through the bold black-and-white imagery associated with Northeastern Brazilian woodcut printing and literatura de cordel.
Borges creates an especially charming sense of scale here: the small figure reaches toward the coconut palm while an enormous sun fills the sky above, and a simple house completes the rural scene. Strong lines and graphic contrasts make this an eye-catching piece even from across a room.
The print is signed by Ivan Borges and dated 2006 beneath the image. The artist's name also appears as part of the printed composition.
