The major Brazilian fiction writer of the 20th century, Jorge Amado, was born in the southeastern Bahian city of Itabuna, and resided for many years in Salvador.
His major novels include Gabriela, Cinnamon and Cloves ; Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands ; and Tieta, the Goat Girl, all of which became internationally renowned films.
More recent writers from Bahia include the fiction writers João Ubaldo Ribeiro and Jean Wyllys, winner of Big Brother Brasil 5 in 2005.
In the visual and plastic arts, one of the best known Bahian figures was the multigenre artist and Argentinian native Hector Julio Páride Bernabó, also known as Carybé ( 1911 – 1997 ).
Fine examples of his work are visible in the Afro-Brazilian Museum in Salvador.
