The coup-mongering mob who invaded, this Sunday (8), the buildings in the Three Powers square, designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer (Palácio do Planalto, National Congress and Federal Supreme Court), damaged important works of Brazilian art and culture.
One of them was "Araguaia", a stained glass window by Marianne Peretti, from 1977, which is located in the green room of the Chamber of Deputies. Inside Palácio do Planalto (Presidential Palace), the canvas "Mulatas", painted in 1962 by Di Cavalcanti, was pierced through by the coup-mongering vandals.
At the Federal Supreme Court, President Rosa Weber's chair, designed by designer Jorge Zalszupin, was torn off. In addition, a crucifix was damaged and the sculpture "A Justiça", by Alfredo Ceschiatti, from 1961, was spray painted over.
The buildings in the Three Powers square were listed in 2007 by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute, IPHAN.
