Tarsila do Amaral vue par les musées : une critique des postulats des expositions temporaires consacrées à l’artiste (2008-2019)

Abstract

Between 2008 and 2019 Tarsila do Amaral featured in important museum institutions, in particular: Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (« Tarsila Viajante », 2008), The Art Institute of Chicago and Museum of Modern Art, MoMA (« Tarsila do Amaral: Inventing Modern Art in Brazil », 2017 and 2018) and Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand, MASP (« Tarsila Popular », 2019). The present discussion seeks to understand how local readings of the artist differ from those made in the United States as a great hegemonic center.
