Exhibit in ex-psychiatric ward celebrates Brazilian artist

A piece by Brazilian artist Arthur Bispo do Rosario is displayed at the Bispo do Rosario Museum of Contemporary Art in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Bispo do Rosario, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, transformed virtually anything he could get his hands on - by any means possible - into art. And he did it for decades in the psychiatric institution where he lived, nearly unrecognized until the last years of his life. (AP Photo/Felipe Dana) RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — When Arthur Bispo do Rosario needed art supplies within the psychiatric institution where he lived, he'd barter cigarettes or trade favors with the guards. When that didn't work, he'd sometimes rough up fellow inmates and snatch away their belongings.
