We took the local bus into city central today (thank goodness we found someone who spoke English and showed us what stop to get off at). The national fine art gallery was free today and we enjoyed the art we saw there even if not all of the galleries were open.
At first I was told that the gallery holding this painting was closed. A young woman I met told me later exactly where this painting was hung.
Meet Tarsila do Amaral 1886 - 1973 who is considered one of the leading Latin America modernist painters. I drew her portrait from her self portrait painting. If you are interested, check her out on google to see the original painting.
