TEFAF VIP Tour - Tarsila Do Amaral: Inventing Modern Art in Brazil

TEFAF VIP Tour - Tarsila Do Amaral: Inventing Modern Art in Brazil

“I want to be the painter of my country,” wrote Tarsila do Amaral (1886–1973) in 1923. 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. Though she is widely celebrated in her native country, this is the first exhibition in the United States devoted exclusively to Tarsila’s groundbreaking art. Featuring over 100 works, including paintings, drawings, sketchbooks, photographs, and historical documents drawn from collections across Latin America, Europe, and the US, Tarsila do Amaral: Inventing Modern Art in Brazil is a rare opportunity to explore the work of this daring modernist.
