On April 2th, 1998, Manabu Mabe's "Vento
Vermelho" (Red Wind) Panel in the Santo Amaro Chapel
was inaugurated with the following words by Victor Hugo Mori: "A
space designed for contemplation and music which induces us to remember
that this colorful musical panel was the last great masterpiece
donated to mankind by the old genius, Manabu Mabe - a National Historical
Legacy."
"Manabu
Mabu, a master of color and wide spaces, was the designer of the
OAS mural in Washington and also of the background curtain of
the Kumamoto Theater, which measures 200 m2, besides several other
artistic works." When he saw the Santo Amaro Fortress, he
fell in love with it.
Measuring
20 m2 and made of 350 thousand colored ceramic tiles, the panel
emphasizes the real historical dimensions of the ancient Fortress
at the entrance of the Santos Port.
