The highlights of Brazilian modernism shown at exhibition

Instituto Casa Roberto Marinho has Brazilian modernism as its main focus. In its ground floor spaces, the visitor will always find artworks on this important period of history.

In this first year of activity, on the occasion of the second inauguration, the exhibition MODERNOS + [Moderns +] features artworks by 15 artists, selected from our collection based on thematic slices: childhood, flowers, work and religion.

We aim to thus reaffirm the Casa’s character as a place of Brazilian modernism, allowing the public to recognize the diversity of individual languages of some of the country’s most relevant artists.

Using an approach similar to that of a journalistic report, we selected three artists as examples of art’s transcendence, essential necessity and importance for helping us to overcome and understand difficult times like these, and always.
