| Summary: | Most comprehensive monograph dedicated to Djanira da Motta e Silva (Avaré, São 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 Maranhão, among diverse Brazilian peoples and landscapes. |
