Mira Schendel (1919 - 1988) was active/lived in Brazil, Italy. Mira Schendel is known for Drawing on rice paper, monotypes, painting, sculpture.
Mira Schendel was a Brazilian artist, considered one of the most significant Latin American artists of the 20th century. Best known for drawings on rice paper, Schendel was a painter, a poet, and a sculptor.
She was born Myrrha Dagmar Dub in 1919 in Zurich, Switzerland. Her father, Karl Leo Dub, was a fabric merchant, and her mother, Ada Saveria Büttner, was a milliner.
Although she had Jewish heritage, Schendel was baptized at her mother's request at the Kirche St. Peter and Paul, a Catholic church in Zurich, on October 20, 1920 and was raised as a Roman Catholic. Schendel's parents divorced in September 1922, and her mother married Count Tommaso Gnoli in 1937.
In the late 1930s, Schendel began to study philosophy at the Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan. Because of racial laws introduced in Fascist Italy in 1938, she was designated as Jewish, stripped of her Italian citizenship and forced to leave university, and so decided to flee Italy in 1939.
