In the first three decades of the twentieth century, artists,
writers, musicians, and architects from both sides of the Atlantic
interacted to create a modern style for Brazil. Their works shaped
Brazilian national expression and self-definition for the twentieth
century and into the present, with renewed relevance as Brazil
plays an increasingly important role in global affairs. Artists
such as Tarsila do Amaral and Roberto Burle-Marx are appearing for
the first time in museums in the United States and Europe, along
with the concept of antropofagia from the "Cannibal Manifesto", a
theory of cultural autonomy and a model for fusion, hybridity, and
assimilation. This book offers a cultural history and
interpretation of Brazilian modernism in the arts and letters,
exploring how modernism depends on transatlantic negotiation and
develops through interchanges between Brazilians and Europeans.
