"MASP offers a monumental re-evaluation of its permanent collection, positioning Brazilian modernism as an active participant in global avant-garde discourses throughout the 20th century."
MASP: Brazilian Modernism in the Global Context invites visitors on an immersive journey through the evolution of painting in Brazil. Held at the iconic MASP from March 10 to September 10, 2026, this exhibition provides a structural analysis of the modernist movement by exploring the dynamic interplay between local traditions and international influences. Through the lens of pioneering artists Tarsila do Amaral and Anita Malfatti, the display highlights how these visionaries navigated complex historical narratives to forge a distinct national identity that resonates to this day. Presented on the museum’s renowned glass easels, the exhibition creates a unique spatial dialogue that captures the revolutionary spirit of the period. This curated survey examines the profound impact of Brazilian painters on the global modernist canon, encouraging a critical reconsideration of these foundational artworks. We invite you to experience this definitive exhibition as it bridges the gap between past and present, celebrating the vibrant and enduring legacy of Brazilian modernism on the world stage.
