This is the most comprehensive exhibition catalog dedicated to the work of Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973), a pioneering figure in Latin American modernism. After studying with Fernand Léger (1881-1955) and André Lhote (1885-1962) in Paris, Tarsila, as she is widely known in Brazil, cannibalized modern European references to create a unique style of her own, true to her origins, with the use of <em>caipira</em> [Brazilian countryside] colors, as well as representations of typical and local characters, scenes, and narratives. This publication accompanies the most extensive exhibition of Tarsila to date, held at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP), and reproduces 113 of her works, as well as documents and photographs.
