I like Tarsila do Amaral´s paintings very much. She took part in Modernism Movement in Brazil, in 20`s. Even today her work is remarkable. Nature and Humanity are together in her work: foot, land, coconut trees in the city, green, sky, cities, more green. In São Paulo we have "few green", just in parks and some neighbourhoods. That is why people are desperate to set out when there is a long holiday. Even a trip to the mountains or to the beach make us over the moon, more well-balanced and self-centred. I notice this in all friends, colleagues and acquaintances. It seems to me that we forget that nature must be part of our lives. Why not more green? Maybe, if we had much more trees in São Paulo city, the rivers wouldn´t overflow after a-forty-minute-rain and there wouldn´t be so much caos at traffic time in summer (almost every day). Green is wanted here, peace of mind, deep relaxation, just green.

Wow, I seriously like this work! Especially the nudes.I find them humerous, but also working at a deeper level. I think I shall need to spend more time with them to give a proper assessment. Thanks for introducing Tarsila do Amaral.
Rosana - I know what you mean about needing to be in the green. I think as humans we are wired to want to be surrounded by nature and foliage. It is soothing to the soul.
Dear Dave, it is not nudes. They are not human beings but shape of. Try reading something about antropofagism, that happens when an artist try to take styles of other artists and cultures of other artist and create his/her own style. Well, anyway, it is much more than this. Thanks for the comment.
Dear Deedee, I am glad that you understand and feel the same. Thanks for the comment.
Her work is very organic. Excellent post Rosana dear!
Organic, Clay? I never imagined that (lol)

Hi Lady in Red! Nice blog and nice posts. I especially enjoyed your post on January 22nd, about armenian writer William Saroyan. Congratulations! Fernando, FFLCH.
Hi Rosana - have been trying to leave comments on a couple of your posts now but blogger seems to be against it. But one more time... I love these paintings and have been trying to remember where I have seen them (or some similar works by Tarsila do Amaral perhaps)- a gallery maybe in Australia seems to float around my head... and a long time ago....is this possible?
Dear Clay, thanks for your visiting. I have been so busy that I haven´t seen my favourites blog, that include yours, of course!
Fernando, obrigada pela visitinha. Você sabe que eu adoro William Saroyan.
