Exhibition "Tarsila do Amaral. Painting modern Brazil": book your tickets!
From October 9 at the Museum
A central figure of Brazilian modernism, Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973) is the creator of an original and evocative body of work, drawing on the indigenous, popular and modern imaginations of a country in the throes of transformation.
From October 9, discover her enchanting, mysterious and committed universe of vibrant landscapes and geometric compositions! The exhibition highlights the artist's revolutionary artistic legacy through her greatest masterpieces, and guides you to the discovery of a country in the throes of change, prey to societal and identity-related questioning.
From Paris to São Paulo, Tarsila do Amaral put his iconographic universe to the test of cubism and primitivism, before initiating the "anthropophagic" movement, advocating Brazilians' "devouring" of colonizing cultures as a form of resistance.
Vividly colored landscapes, unusual and fascinating visions, dreamlike gigantism and almost abstract geometry of her latest compositions only confirm the power of a work rooted in its time and always ready to renew itself.
A unique retrospective to be discovered at the Musée du Luxembourg, from October 9, 2024 to February 2, 2025.
