The Assembly of São Paulo marked the 140th anniversary of Tarsila do Amaral on September 1, commemorating the artist as a major figure in Brazilian Modernism.
A message shared by the Museum of Art of the Parliament of São Paulo described Amaral as one of the leading representatives of the movement and credited her with helping to establish a new way of looking at Brazil.
The tribute highlighted the role of color, form and characters in her work, identifying these elements as central to her contribution to Brazilian culture. The Assembly’s message said that Amaral “transformed Brazilian art,” presenting her legacy in national and cultural terms.
The anniversary date was described as the day on which Amaral would have turned 140. The commemoration was issued by the São Paulo Assembly through its institutional museum context rather than as an announcement of a new exhibition or public programme.
No exhibition dates, venue details beyond the institutional source, or related events were provided in the material announcing the anniversary tribute.
