Di Cavalcanti (2026)

Di Cavalcanti stands as the first Brazilian artist to truly reflect the face of Brazil, dedicating his life to portraying his homeland with boldness and originality. From helping launch Brazil’s first Modern Art Week in 1922 through the 1960s and 1970s, his work became a familiar part of Brazilian homes and later reached audiences around the world. His paintings pulse with creativity, freedom, excess, and suffering, shaped by a life guided by pleasure and wisdom—one that embraced both pain and glory. Di Cavalcanti is Brazil through and through.
