Tarsila do Amaral

(Brazilian, 1896–1973)

Tarsila do Amaral was a Brazilian artist known for her idiosyncratic paintings of Brazilian culture, landscapes, and people. Influenced by the Cubism of Fernand Lèger, Tarsila synthesized motifs into simplified volumetric shapes, as seen in her painting Anthropophagy (1929). “I want to be the painter of my country,” the artist once wrote. Born on September 1, 1886 in Capivari, Brazil, she travelled to Paris in 1920, studying first at the Académie Julian then later under André Lhote and Léger. Tarsila travelled back and forth between Brazil and Paris over the next decade, using her culture as a unique influence while still keeping afoot of the latest avant-garde ideas. In 1928, the artist and her husband the poet Oswald de Andrade developed the Anthropophagite Manifesto, which called for a uniquely Brazilian form of art and literature. Tarsila’s aesthetic remained relatively similar over the decades that followed, with the only exception being a brief foray into Socialist Realism after a 1931 trip to the Soviet Union. The artist died on January 17, 1973 in São Paulo, Brazil. The exhibition “Tarsila do Amaral: Inventing Modern Art in Brazil” opened to the public in 2017, it was co-organized by the Art Institute of Chicago and The Museum of Modern Art. Today, her works are held in the collections of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Museu de Arte Brasileira in São Paulo, and the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes in Rio de Janiero, among others.
