Description: Most comprehensive monograph dedicated to Djanira da Motta e Silva (Avare , Sa o Paulo, 1914 - Rio de Janeiro, 1979) since her death forty years ago. The title "Djanira: The Memory of Her People" - borrowed from a 1970s story by Mary Ventura - refers to the artist's trajectory, her life story and her many trips through Brazil, as well as her painting based on daily life, landscapes and Brazilian popular culture, around subjects often marginalized by elites. This exhibition includes works from all periods of Djanira's production, from the early 1940s to the late 1970s, and follows a chronological order while bringing together works from the artist's main themes: portraits and self-portraits, popular fun and celebrations, work and workers, Afro-Brazilian and Catholic religiosity, the indigenous Canela do Maranha o, among diverse Brazilian peoples and landscapes.
Notes: Published on the occsion of the retrospective held March 1 - May 19, 2019 at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, MASP and in June 28 - October 27, 2019 at the Instituto Casa Roberto Marinho, in Rio de Janeiro.
