The Art Institute of Chicago / AIC highlights the work of Tarsila do Amaral (1886–1973) “a central figure in the development of Brazil’s modern art… Her paintings and drawings reflect her ambitions to synthesize the currents of avant-garde art and create an original modern art for her home country.”
“The exhibition celebrates Tarsila’s most daring works and her role in the founding of Antropofagía—an art movement that promoted the idea of devouring, digesting, and transforming European and other artistic influences in order to make something entirely new”
