"Amanhã fico triste… Amanhã! Hoje não… Hoje fico alegre! E todos os dias, por mais amargos que sejam, eu digo: Amanhã fico triste, HOJE NÃO… "

Semana de Mato Grosso em New York - Casa do Brasil

 A arte como instrumento de conscientização da importância de preservar os animais do Pantanal. Essa foi a estratégia escolhida pelo artista plástico mato-grossense, Victor Hugo, ao decidir produzir um livro e um caderno para colorir sobre os animais do Pantanal, como a onça pintada, a arara-azul e o tatu-bola, que o mascote daCopa do Mundo de 2014.
Patrocinado pelo Governo de Mato Grosso, o material foi distribuído nesta segunda-feira (29.04) em Lima, capital do Peru, onde Cuiabá foi a anfitriã do Goal To Brasil, evento promovido pelo Governo Federal para destacar as 12 cidades-sede do Mundial como destino turístico do mercado internacional. Os livros e cadernos, produzidos em inglês e espanhol, também foram entregues a 250 alunos de uma escola peruana na qual a Embaixada brasileira desenvolve um projeto que possibilita o aprendizado da língua portuguesa.
De acordo com Victor Hugo, cada um dos 15 animais citados no livro foram concebidos por meio da técnica do óleo sobre tela para depois serem reproduzidos na publicação. Já as ilustrações do caderno para colorir foram desenhadas à mão pelo artista.
“O tatu-bola é um mamífero da família dos tatus. Ele tem pés pequenos, é de cerca de 30 centímetros de comprimento, tem três cintas móveis e tatus são os únicos capazes de dobrar-se completamente dentro de sua concha, formando uma espécie de bola, gerando daí o seu nome. Tal espécie possui apenas quatro dedos em cada pata anterior”, explica Victor Hugo no livro.
Um dos animais que também chamam a atenção é o tuiuiú, ave-símbolo do Pantanal. Podendo atingir de 1,60 m de altura e 2,80 m de ponta a ponta das asas, o tuiuiú se alimenta de peixes, insetos, caramujos, pequenos mamíferos e aves.
O ARTISTA
Natural de Itiquira (MT), Victor Hugo começou a sua carreira em 1968 pintando cartazes em cinemas de Cuiabá. Conhecido internacionalmente, ele já retratou várias personalidades, como o Papa João Paulo II, o jornalista Roberto Marinho, o ex-presidente Lula, Papa Bento XVI e imortais da Academia Brasileira de Letras (ABL).
Ilustrou cinco livros sobre educação ambiental, escritos pelo prof. Arnaldo Niskier (ABL): “Uma aventura no Pantanal – 1991”; “Chapada, um mistério de outro mundo – 1992”; “liberdade para as araras azuis – 1993”; “Bafafá no reino dourado – 2002”; e “Uma aventura no Pantanal - 2003”, que foi editado em japonês pela Universidade de Kyoto.
Victor Hugo também realizou várias exposições no Brasil e exterior. Atualmente trabalha com o Projeto Fauna Mataviva – a arte em defesa dos animais do Pantanal, Amazônia e Cerrado, com exposições a céu aberto nos parques da cidade.




















If the United States government shuts down tonight and our economy takes a hit, it will be because House Republicans let it happen.
Right now, there's a bill sitting in the House that funds the government for a few more weeks. It doesn't demand the repeal or delay of the health care law, or deny women access to birth control, or include any other failed, partisan proposals. It funds the government. That's it. And if Republican leadership allowed a simple yes or no vote on this bill -- like the Senate has -- it would get enough support from members of both parties to pass.
Instead, the government that these Republicans were elected to fund will close down and that will hurt our economy. Americans across the country won't be allowed to show up for work. Paychecks could be delayed, meaning some folks will have to cut back on groceries or maybe even not pay a few bills. Businesses will have fewer customers. Veterans won't get services they rely on -- and it will put benefits for seniors at risk.
Even though they've already voted over 40 times to defund or delay the health care law, this group of Republicans in Congress is so obsessed with the idea of sabotaging Obamacare that they're willing to take the economy hostage to do it.
President Obama has said time and time again that he's willing to work with folks on both sides of the aisle to grow our economy and even improve the health care law. But using the threat of government shutdown or defaulting on the bills our country owes is reckless and irresponsible.
In fact, shutting down the government won't stop Obamacare. The Health Insurance Marketplace will still open for business starting tomorrow, without delay.
Washington needs to stop manufacturing crises and focus on the issues that matter: creating jobs and building a strong middle class. Taking our economy over the cliff just to score political points isn't fair to the millions of Americans who show up every day to work and do their jobs. It’s time for Congress to do its job.
