Royal Academy - Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism
This major exhibition featured over 130 works by ten important Brazilian artists from the twentieth century, capturing the diversity of Brazilian art at the time.
The exhibition brought an expanded view of Brazilian Modernism to UK audiences, showing work by artists who have historically received less exposure in this country, including Anita Malfatti, who spearheaded the movement, and Tarsila do Amaral, now internationally celebrated as a leading female figure of Brazilian Modernism.
The lighting design approach was simplistic but immersive, with each gallery being painted in a different shade, subtle hues of colour washed the walls from lighting fixtures fitted with colour correction filters.
Brasil! Brasil! The Birth of Modernism exhibition has received outstanding five-star acclaim from the Worlds press.
