This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Le cerveau et la pensée (The Brain and the Thought), presented at the gallery in Paris in 2013–2014 and curated by Ricardo Fernandes. Dedicated to the celebrated Brazilian artist Antonio Peticov, the publication offers an overview of the works created for this project, in which the artist explored the visual and symbolic dimensions of thought through vibrant, meticulously crafted compositions.

Born in 1946, Peticov has been a central figure in Brazilian art since the 1970s, maintaining a distinguished and influential career over several decades. The catalogue reflects this long‑standing trajectory, presenting a selection of works that reveal his ongoing engagement with form, color, perception, and the mysteries of human creativity.

Edited by the gallery and published in French, the book stands as both a document of the Paris exhibition and a testament to Peticov’s enduring contribution to contemporary art.
