The work is titled“O Tirador de Côco,”which can be translated as“The Coconut Picker”or“The Coconut Harvester.”The scene celebrates everyday life and labor in Brazil through the bold black-and-white imagery associated withNortheastern Brazilian woodcut printing and literatura de cordel.
Borges creates an especially charming sense of scale here: the small figure reaches toward the coconut palm while an enormous sun fills the sky above, and a simple house completes the rural scene. Strong lines and graphic contrasts make this an eye-catching piece even from across a room.
