Over 130 works by ten key Brazilian artists, including Anita Malfatti, Tarsila do Amaral, Alfredo Volpi, Rubem Valentim and Flávio de Carvalho, from the 20th century are going on display at the Royal Academy for its Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism exhibition. By showing these works, many of which have never been exhibited in the UK, the RA is expanding the understanding of Brazilian Modernism and exploring how artists were combining different trends and traditions with their own Indigenous and Afro-Brazilian identities to create a new type of modern art.
