ANITA MALFATTI

1889, São Paulo, Brazil
1964, São Paulo, Brazil

Anita Malfatti was responsible for the introduction of European and American forms of Modernism into the Brazilian art scene, and was the subject of controversy and ostracism by the establishment in her homeland. Over the course of her career she found herself forced to mitigate the revolutionary scope of her artistic sensibilities, as evidenced by the chromatic and stylistic changes in a pictorial career which began under the banner of an original blend of Cubism and Impressionism.
