Frans Krajcberg

Frans Krajcberg (12 April 1921 – 15 November 2017) was a Polish-born Brazilian painter, sculptor, engraver and photographer. Krajcberg found peace after World War II through nature, and after moving to São Paulo in 1948 his connection with the natural world drove him to use mixed-medium art for environmental activism from the 1960s onward. Known for his environmental activism, Krajcberg denounced the destruction of the Brazilian forests, using materials such as burnt wood from illegal forest fires in his artworks.
