Moma Tarsila Do Amaral Inventing Modern Art in Brazil
- MoMA, Floor two
"I want to exist the painter of my country," wrote Tarsila do Amaral (1886–1973) in 1923. Born at the end of the 19th century to a family of java plantation owners in São Paulo, Tarsila―as she is affectionately known in Brazil―studied pianoforte, sculpture, and drawing before leaving for Paris in 1920 to attend the Académie Julian, the famous art school that drew many international students. During subsequent sojourns in the French majuscule, she studied with André Lhote, Albert Gleizes, and Fernand Léger, fulfilling what she chosen her "war machine service in Cubism," ultimately arriving at her signature style of sensuous, vibrant landscapes and everyday scenes. The exhibition focuses on her pivotal production from the 1920s, when she navigated the art worlds of both São Paulo and Paris, and charts her involvement with an increasingly international artistic community, as well as her critical role in the emergence of modernism in Brazil. In 1928, she painted Abaporu for her husband, the poet Oswalde de Andrade, depicting an elongated, isolated figure with a blooming cactus. This landmark painting inspired the Manifesto of Anthropophagy, and became the banner for a transformative artistic movement, which imagined a specifically Brazilian culture arising from the symbolic digestion—or artistic "cannibalism"—of outside influences.
Though she is widely celebrated in her native country, this is the commencement exhibition in the United States devoted exclusively to Tarsila'south groundbreaking art. Featuring over 100 works, including paintings, drawings, sketchbooks, photographs, and historical documents drawn from collections across Latin America, Europe, and the U.s., Tarsila practise Amaral: Inventing Modern Art in Brazil is a rare opportunity to explore the work of this daring modernist.
The exhibition is organized by The Museum of Modern Fine art and the Fine art Institute of Chicago.
Organized past Luis Pérez-Oramas, sometime Estrellita Brodsky Curator of Latin American Art, The Museum of Modern Fine art, and Stephanie D'Alessandro, former Gary C. and Frances Comer Curator of International Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago; with Karen Grimson, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Drawings and Prints, The Museum of Modern Art.
