<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>The luminous, revelatory landscapes of the pioneering Latin American modernist, in a deluxe production</strong></p><p>Featuring a tip-on cover images and paper changes throughout, <i>Cannibalizing Modernism</i> is the first comprehensive English-language catalog on the Brazilian painter Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973), a key figure in Latin American modernism. <p/>After studying with Fernand Léger and André Lhote in Paris, Tarsila--as she is widely known in Brazil--cannibalized modern European references to create a unique style, with the use of <i>caipira</i> (rural Brazilian) colors and representations of local characters and scenes. Much of her work was made in dialogue with two leading modernist thinkers of her time, Mário de Andrade and Oswald de Andrade. Her work also parallels the development of Oswald de Andrade's <i>antropofagia</i>, a key concept in 20th-century Latin American thought, through which intellectuals of the tropics would cannibalize European cultural references, while also bringing indigenous, Afro-Atlantic and local elements into their work. <p/><i>Cannibalizing Modernism</i> reproduces 233 paintings alongside documents and photographs.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>In this lavishly illustrated, multivoiced and comprehensive catalog, some dozen curators, critics and writers insistently create more space between the work of this singular and singularly Brazilian artist and the European influences ...they approach her work from many angles -- topography, primitivism, popular culture and even contemporary performance art -- in ways both precise and expansive.--Roberta Smith "New York Times"<br>
