Artist: Anita Malfatti. (Brazilian)Technique: oil on canvasTitle: Portrait of childMeasures: 40 x 35 cmBiography:Malfatti Anita (1889-1964).Brazilian painter and designer born in Sao Paulo 2/12/1889 and changed on 6/11/1964.His full name was Ana Catarina Malfatti.The food was not easy, because it had a congenital defect in the right arm, so that it could handle the rest of its life.The artistic talent that I showed from a very small age was also followed by his father and his father, who decided to study painting abroad. So Anita Malfatti traveled to Berlin in 1910, and even joined the course she started at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, after which she received private classes at the taller Fritz Burger. Allah? was making contact and identifying himself with several artistsEmpezó, then, practicing free painting, as well as grabbing in metal with Loves Corinth and Bischoff-Culm. I returned to Brazil in 1914, but before I was through Paris and I knew the painting of French impressionists and post-impressionists. In 1915 he went to the United States to continue his artistic training with the Homer Boss at the Independence School of Art in New York. Boss's influence was very important, since it flowed fully to express all his strength, without limitations.The 12th of December 1917 Anita Malfatti inaugurated an exhibition of her work in Sao Paulo. It showed 53 of his works among watercolors, engraved in metal, paintings and drawings. It was an enormously controversial exhibition and caused a scandalous verdict, but it became the event that brought about the renovation of plastic arts in Brazil. With it, I opened the doors to existing artistic currents in Europe, such as cubism, expressionism, surrealism and futurism.The 1917 exhibition stimulated modernists and a few years later, in 1922, the Modern Art Week was celebrated in the Municipal Theater of Sao Paulo, attended by Anita Malfatti together with Di Cavalcanti, Oswald de Andrade, Brecheret, Guilherme de Almeida , Ribeiro Couto, Mario de Andrade and John Graz, among others. Anita Malfatti traveled to Paris, where she lived between 1923 and 1928.In the following years, the painter continued to find success. I will receive the plate medallion at the Sao Paulo Hall of Fine Arts of Sao Paulo in 1933, I participated in the Biennale de Sao Paulo in 1951 and 1963, and I have a special room in the itinerant exhibition Modern Art of Brazil of 1957, which I use the cities of Rosario, Buenos Aires, Santiago and Lima.
