Work consisting of 14 parts of 57 x 102 (each). This piece was commissioned by the couple Rizziero Guerra for the family's residence. The correspondences between Luiz Contrucci and Genaro de Carvalho, dated from February and March 1960, document the process of production and negotiation of this mural. The texts reveal technical details of the work, such as dimensions, materials and structural division, as well as the financial and logistical procedures involved. In addition to its documentary value, the letters testify to the collaboration between artists and engineers in the context of Brazilian modern art. It is, therefore, an expressive example of the integration between art and architecture, a striking feature of modernist production in Brazil.
