Brazilian art : 1928, the anthropophagic year

With the publication of the Manifesto Antropófago in 1928 by Oswald de Andrade, anthropophagy went from a motif of Amerindian rituals, present in the accounts of 16th-century European travelers, to an artistic and cultural fact. Its most famous interpretation, as the transformation of all that was foreign to Brazilian culture into national elements, is only the beginning of a story that continues to this day.
