Painted by the noted Brazilian master Antonio Henrique Amaral, the 1990 five-foot oil painting “On the Center: A Tree” depicts a flame-reddened tree trunk crowned by smoke billows surrounded by an inner rim of rounded tree canopies and a sawtooth border, a clear and powerful protest against the deforestation of the Amazon basin.
