Though
little-known to most people who visit MoMA, Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral
(1886–1973) was, by the museum’s own account, a “foundational” figure in the
history of of modernism in Latin America. While on multiple sojourns in Paris
during the 1920s, she studied with some of the major artists of the day,
including Fernand Léger, whose influence, along with that of Matisse and the
Surrealists, is evident in her figurative paintings. This show is the artist’s
first retrospective in the United States.
