Mario de Andrade e seus dois pintores

Commemorating the 70th death anniversary of poet and literate Mário de Andrade, two museums of the Brazilian Museums Institute (Ibram) -Castro Maya and Lasar Segall- reflect on the prolific relationship between Mário de Andrade and "his two painters": Candido Portinari and Lasar Segall, thus evoking three icons of Brazilian modernity. The ideas and opinions of the writer guided the selection and layout of the 50 works exhibited, all produced between 1913 and 1943. Organized under the curatorship of Anna Paola Baptista, the exhibition brings together works from both, highlighting "Os Eternos Caminhantes" (1919) and "Pogrom" (1937), by Segall, and "Mestiço" (1934) and "A Barca" (1941), by Portinari. Two portraits of Mário de Andrade are also part of the selection. The first painted, in 1927 and the second eight years later.
