Zusammenfassung:Brazilian outsider artist Arthur Bispo do Rosario (c. 1909-1989) was also a boxer, a member of the Navy, a butler, an employee of an electric power company, among other talents. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, he spent 50 of his 80 years in seclusion in Colônia Juliano Moreira in Rio de Janeiro, a psychiatric institution created in the first half of the 20th century for those patients classified as "abnormal" or "undesirable", such as alcoholics and other psychiatric patients. The common themes in his work included ships (a recurring theme due to his relationship with the Navy in his youth), banners, and household objects created "obeying the call of a divine mission" that comprised different types of materials he found around the mental institution. "ARTE POR UM FIO (Art by a thread) follows the existential journey of Arthur Bispo do Rosário committed to a life project. The artist professes an embroidered prayer in memory of his native Japaratuba, of rustic Catholicism, of the artisanal traditions and popular cheerfulness of the State of Sergipe, of an abolitionist Brazil. The expression of the collection awakens reflections on political-social, humanitarian and aesthetic issues. Faced with the epic in blue threads, we are confronted with otherness: who is this who, strange, dares to make me look at my own condition? The treaty of Arthur Bispo do Rosário makes us walk through a Sergipe still in germ and abandons us in the arms of a paradoxical otherness, between fascination and phobia, admiration and embarrassment, to flow into the cloister of a Rio de Janeiro colony of sad memory."
