Tarsila do Amaral Brazilian 1886-1973
Operários (Workers) , 1933
Oil on Canvas
Operários (Workers) marks the moment, at the beginning of the 1930s, when Tarsila abandoned the imaginative depiction of nature and fauna that had characterized her work for the past decade for a more socially committed form of representation. Possibly inspired by a contemporary photomontage by the Russian artist Valentina Kulagina—a reproduction of which Tarsila kept in her personal library—this carefully composed group portrait emphasizes the diversity of Brazilian society and includes depictions of real people, such as the architect Gregori Warchavchik, the first modernist architect in Brazil. Distancing herself from the poetic and utopian ideas of the Anthropophagic movement, Tarsila now focused on her country’s concrete political reality.
