Brazilian art
This image show us a famous paint of brazilian artist call Tarsila do Amaral. She was a painter that lives on centuries XIX and XX.
This paint have some colours like blue, yellow, green (and the collor man that I don't know the name).
The tittle is "Abaporu", tupi-guarani name that mean "a man that eat person" or "cannibal". Tupi-guarani is a typical language of indigenous people of South America.
The person in paint don't have normal forms, your head is so small in comparation the body and it's proposital. The small head mean no think, it's a reference to people don't think, that just work mecanic, using just your hand force, don't your head force too (I think this is very acctualy, unfortunately could be easily a representation of the current Brazilian political scenario for example).
Tarsila do Amaral has many paints and your art and your name is frequentlly used on school to teach about Brazilian culture. Beyond she, we have other painters like Anita Malfatti, Di Cavalcanti, Candido Portinari, etc.
I really would like to be a good painter, but I won't. So, I just appreciate the biggest artists.
Do you already this paint and this painter? Tell me! :D
