"Manacá" (1927) by Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral, is a vibrant depiction of the Manacá flower, a symbol of Brazilian flora. The artwork employs a simplified, almost geometric, style, characteristic of the Brazilian Modern Art movement. This movement, which emerged in the 1920s, aimed to create a distinct Brazilian art identity, celebrating local culture and landscapes. The bold colors and simplified forms of "Manacá" are reminiscent of the artistic trends of Cubism and Art Deco.
