Description: "This is a minutely detailed history of the artistic milieu of São Paulo in the 1940s-50s. At that time many of the tensions and contradictions that followed the 1922 Week of Modern Art were resolved allowing for the establishment of institutions to promote modern art and support artists, as well as to provide a legacy for future generations. Meanwhile, the artists themselves matured, gaining a certain level of professional recognition, while also achieving a more profound understanding of the issue of national identity. A wealth of information and a great contribution to a historical and theoretical re-evaluation of the period. Includes a variety of illustrations in color and b/w, a rich bibliography, and name and work indexes"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 289-296) and indexes.
