Her gaze as a white, aristocratic, erudite and cosmopolitan woman paradoxically represents a popular and authentic Brazil at the crossroads of several cultures.
Her work raises social, identity and racial questions between tradi- tion and the avant-garde.
Widely recognized and exhibited in her country of origin, a female artist with a political and activist dimension, exhibitions dedicated to her are rare abroad.
This first retrospective in France brings together around 150 works.
Her rich production from the 1920s offers landscapes with bright colors and clear lines alternating with dreamlike visions as myste- rious as they are fascinating.
