Oswald de Andrade publishes his manifesto, stimulated by Tarsila's "Abaporu," on Jan 16, 1928.
On January 16, 1928, Oswald de Andrade published his Manifesto Antropófago (Anthropophagous Manifesto), a seminal text in Brazilian modernism directly inspired by Tarsila do Amaral's painting "Abaporu". This manifesto catalyzed the Anthropophagic movement, emphasizing the assimilation and transformation of European cultural influences into indigenous Brazilian expressions. The publication of this manifesto highlighted the artistic partnership between Tarsila and Oswald, celebrating a pioneering stride in redefining Brazil's cultural narrative through art. It positioned Brazilian modern art as a reflective and critical process of cultural reclamation and innovation.
