The creation of art in the geographic area now known as Brazil begins with the earliest records of its human habitation. The original inhabitants of the land, pre-Columbian Indian peoples, produced various forms of art; specific cultures like the Marajoara left sophisticated painted pottery. This area was colonized by Portugal in the 16th century and given the modern name of Brazil. Brazilian art is most commonly used as an umbrella term for art created in this region post Portuguese colonization. ==Pre-Columbian traditions== (詳細はcave paintings in Serra da Capivara National Park in the state of Piauí,〔''Almanaque Abril 2007''. São Paulo: Editora Abril, 2007, p. 234.〕 dating back to c. 13,000 BC. More recent examples have been found in Minas Gerais and Goiás, showing geometric patterns and animal forms.〔(Martins, Simone B. & Imbroisi, Margaret H. ''História da Arte'', 1988 )〕 One of the most sophisticated kinds of Pre-Columbian artifact found in Brazil is the sophisticated Marajoara pottery (c. 800–1400 AD), from cultures flourishing on Marajó Island and around the region of Santarém, decorated with painting and complex human and animal reliefs. Statuettes and cult objects, such as the small carved-stone amulets called muiraquitãs, also belong to these cultures.〔Correa, Conceição Gentil. ''Estatuetas de cerâmica na cultura Santarém''. Belém: Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, 1965.〕 The Mina and Periperi cultures, from Maranhão and Bahia, produced interesting though simpler pottery and statuettes. In the beginning of the 21st century, the ancient Indian traditions of body painting, pottery, cult statuettes, and feather art are still being cultivated by the remaining Indian peoples.
