Abstract/Summary: | |
Since its inception, the 1922 Week of Modern Art has been subject to numerous historical reconstructions. Each of these reconstructions attached a new meaning to the original event according to its author's agenda. The purpose of this thesis is to observe those revisions and portray a deeper understanding of one of Brazil's most interesting historical periods in art. This goal is achieved by a study of the social and political connections that guided each one of these historical reconstructions. |
