AN OVERVIEW OF RICH PEOPLE AT THE DAWN OF THE 20TH CENTURY: JOSÉ AGUDO WEAVES SCENES FROM SÃO PAULO LIFE
Abstract
José Agudo represents the city of São Paulo in its initial modernization process, presenting São Paulo scenes through the lens of the “owners of power”, that is, of those rich people who entitle the work. The narrative, however, is woven by its author’s acerbic mockery and biting paints.
