A Negra 1923

"A Negra" (1923) by Brazilian modernist artist Tarsila do Amaral is a striking example of her signature style, known as "Pau-Brasil." The painting's simplified forms, bold colors, and geometric shapes, create a powerful image of a seated black woman, highlighting the artist's focus on Brazilian identity and cultural themes. The work's striking orange hues and geometric background add to its abstract composition, characteristic of the avant-garde art movement of the early 20th century.
