There are at least eleven artists featured at this engaging and colourful exhibition. Over 130 works are tastefully displayed for your delectation. Between 1910 and 1970 the modernist approach to art emerged and finally flourished. The Afro Brasilian experience is mentioned about these inspiring artists. Political situations are alluded to in background information on the emergence of the Birth of Modernism.
Anita Malfatti is one of the artists who spearheaded the movement and Tarsila do Amaral is also celebrated as a leading female figure of Brasilian Modernism.
Many of the works displayed come from private collections as well as Brasilian Public Collections. The exhibition is organised by the Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts, London.
The style of some of the art is breathtakingly colourful and there is an innocence and warmth in many of the works which loosely pertains to naive art and one or two which resemble a similar style to that of Rousseau or Chagall. Kandinsky has also been alluded to.
The styles of art are upbeat and refreshing especially if one comes into the Royal Academy on a cold day and are entertained by warming and positive artworks!
A booklet which you can purchase will give more information on the art and artists. So if you find the time and the occasion this exhibition is well worth a visit. Nearest tubes Green Park and Piccadilly. This is a ticketed event so be ready for this. ENJOY.
