Summary:
Bringing together vast documentation and rich iconography, this is a fundamental work for both beginners and those who are in contact with the subject for the first time. No artistic-cultural movement in Brazil had such a polemical and lasting repercussion as the Modern Art Week, which took place at the Municipal Theater of São Paulo in February 1922. Hardly attacked by conservative critics, the Week subverted the artistic and literary standards of the time. and became an important milestone in our history, becoming a matter of reflection on Brazilian culture. The purpose of this book is to deepen this discussion and bring it to the general public. The authors extensively cover the events and backstage of the Semana de 22 and propose unprecedented analyzes in several aspects. In 1972, during the 50th anniversary celebrations of the event, Carlos Drummond de Andrade described those restless nights as a cry in the well-behaved hallʺ, a manifestation that was still alive, resounding. Another fifty years have passed and the Week reaches its centenary more alive than ever the modernist cry continues to echo through the halls and influence our arts, our culture, our thinking.
