Guavira Número 6 Guavira Número 6 ________________________________________________________________________ PATRICÍA GALVÃO: THE PRIVATE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BRAZILIAN FEMINIST WRITER David William Foster1 porque não poderei contar as gargalhadas que já estou ensaiando. (Patrícia Galvão, Paixão Pagu 128) Only two women's names have routinely been attached to the momentous Semana de Arte Moderna, which, in São Paulo in an audacious display of modernist culture in February 1922, laid the definitive groundwork for contemporary Brazilian letters and sealed the fate of that city as the new cultural center for Brazil: increasing, since that date, São Paulo has steadily displaced Rio, so dominant in the nineteenth century, as Brazil's dynamic culture center, as befits that country's reigning megalopolis. Both of the women in question were painters: Anita Malfatti (1889-1963), who saw the equally important Armory Show New York in 1913 and was inspired to spearhead a similar show in São Paulo; and Tarsila do Amaral (1886-1973), who impressive canvases have gone on to become, in the visual arts, veritable icons of the Semana. However, there was a third woman, Patrícia Galvão (1910-62).2 Galvão may be found mentioned on the margins of the subsequent cultural flourishing in the 1930s that flowed from the Semana,3 although it was not until Norma Bengell's femi-nist film on her, Eternamente Pagu (1987),4 that Galvão begins to enjoy something like a general cultural recognition. I wish I could say that the efforts of feminist literary scholarship in Brazil (whose existence is somewhat debatable, certainly at least on institutional academic terms) has served to confirm Galvão's importance in the bibliography of research on the Semana and, as a consequence, in Brazilian cultural history (yet, see the entry "Pagu" in the Dicionário de mulheres do Brazil).5 However, this work has fallen to the Brazilian poet Augusto de Campos, whose biography and anthology of Galvão constituted the first major bibliographic entry; the editorial work of Geraldo Galvão Ferraz, Galvão's second son, and the criticism of the American David K. Jackson—and the translation, along with his wife, Elizabeth, of Galvão's only known novel, Parque industrial (published in 1933 under the pseudonym of Mara Lobo); there is now a growing second-wave bibliography on Galvão, but as of yet not much of it published in Brazil, where the writer remains absent from major historio-graphic works.6 1 Regents’ Professor of Spanish, Humanities and Women’s Studies – Arizona State University - ASU 2 It is common to identify Galvão by her family nickname, Pagu, although her son claims that she actually repudiated that childish moniker when she resigned in 1940 from the Communist Party (Ferraz 3). To be sure, it is common to identify Brazilian women authors, artists, musicians by their first name, Clarice Lispector being the most obvious example. Other examples are the artist Tarsila do Amaral (mentioned in this paper), the movie star Carmen Miranda, and the composer Chiquinha Gonzaga. All of the 1500 individuals who figure in the Dicionário mulheres do Brasil are entered by their first name. I will here adopt the arrogance of the outsider foreign scholar and identify Patrícia Galvão as simply Galvão. 3 Galvão, of course, would have been too young to have actually intervened in the founding activities of the Semana, although she seems to have been involved in the 7 Guavira Número 6 ________________________________________________________________________ ongoing project of the Semana well before the end of the decade of the 1920s. See the chronology of her life provided by Ferraz in his introduction to the edition of her Safra macabra. Earl Fitz (183-85) recognizes explicitly Galvão's relationship to the so-called Modernist revolt, and connects that importance to the emergence of women writers in Brazil in the mid-twentieth century. 4 In which Bengell—herself an actress of considerable importance—perpetuates the denomination of Galvão as Pagu. See my analysis of the film (Foster, Gender and Society 83-96. 5 The U.S. feminist scholar Vicky Unruh has written of Galvão's relationship to Modernism, along with another overlooked and often maligned female writer, the Argentine Norah Lange. 6 For example, there is no entry for her in the electronic data base, DEDALUS, for the libraries of the Universidade de São Paulo, considered the premier academic institution in the country. Nor is she mentioned in the three-volume História da literatura brasileira, which, although published in Portugal, involved extensive collaboration by Brazilian scholars, and she is given only two passing references in the volume dedicated to Brazil in Roberto González Echevarría's and Enrique Pupo Walker's The Cambridge History of Latin American Literature. 7 Bengal, in her film, insinuates a subsequent erotic relationship between Galvão and Tarsila, although there appears not to be much in the way of independent verification of such a biographical detail. Bengal also insinuates a relationship between Galvão and the American-Brazilian singer Elsie Hous-ton, who comes to Galvão's rescue when she is released from prison in France on the occasion of her antifascist militancy there; Bengell plays the part of Houston in Eternamente Pagu. 8 In reality, the Library of Congress's 1945 first edition appears not to bear Ferraz's name, as it is not part of the cataloguing record. The OCLC First Search record for the first edition does, however, include Ferraz's name, although the 1959 edition, along with Ferraz's single-authored novel Doura-mundo does give due credit to both authors. OCLC reports that only seven copies of the first edition are located worldwide as reported by cooperating institutions, while only twenty-four report owning copies of the 1959 reedition. 9 Pace Andrea Dworkin's legendary assertion, in her book Intercourse, that all (hetero)sexual intercourse is basically a variation on the rape of women by men. 10 A truly lesbian trope here would be, precisely, for a woman to report a repudiation of the man's bearded mouth in favor of osculation with the female genitals, along with perhaps the allusion to the former as a ludicrous simulation of the latter. 11 There is another way of contruing this passage, and that is how Galvão may be seeing imposed on Andrade's face the genitals of other women with whom he has been and whose bodies she is forced to kiss through kissing him. This would be consistent with her complaints not only regarding Andrade's infidelities, but his indiscriminate sexual conduct. I am grateful to my colleague Isis Costa McElroy for this line of thought. 12 An appropriate, most assuredly, with which I appropriate by repeating them in the text of this essay. 8 Guavira Número 6 ________________________________________________________________________ 13 One cannot help but think of parallels to be drawn as regards the entwined fates of Octavio Paz and Elena Garro in Mexican letters. However, there is no evidence that Andrade set out to destroy Galvão's reputation as Paz is reputed to have done in the case of Garro, nor did Garro, despite all that, ever experience the oblivion that Galvão did, no matter how benign Andrade may have been with regard to her literary fate. Yet, when Ferraz published in 2005 a document of his mother's that he titled Paixão Pagu; a autobiografia precoce de Patrícia Galvão, it was something of a best seller, becoming promptly difficult to obtain even at major booksellers in São Paulo such as the FNAC, a vast cultural supermarket with various outlets in the city and, now, in other places in the country. If Galvão remains uninteresting for academic Brazilian scholarship, which is not known for its comprehensive dedication to modern writers, she now seems to have some cachet in the general Brazilian cultural imaginary. Paixão Pagu was written in 1940 as a private letter to Geraldo Ferraz, with whom she was entering into the long relationship that would last until her death in 1962. Ferraz was a writer and journalist, and they ended up collaborating well together, although Galvão was unsuccessful in her bid for political office in 1950. Galvão had been involved first in a sham marriage (to the poet Waldemar Belisário) in order to escape the rather stultifying paternal abode in Santos. Her real matrimonial goal was the poet and major spokesperson for the Semana de Arte Moderna, Oswald de Andrade. Since he was already involved with Tarsila do Amaral, Galvão knew her parents would never approve, and hence the sham marriage.7 Gal-vão's marriage to Oswald de Andrade was a stormy one: she both had a son with him (Rudá, who has cooperated with Ferraz in providing material in his possession about their shared mother) and engaged fully in the radical politics that made her the first female political prisoner in Brazilian history, during the infamous fascist-like Estado Novo of Getúlio Vargas in the late 1930s and 1940s. Her past included not only her imprisonment, but her publication of Parque industrial, her direct involvement with the Brazilian Communist Party (which insisted on the pseudonym for the novel, considering it a serious personalist breach on Galvão's part to publish it under her own name), and living in 1932 and working the area of the fabric mills east of the central core of São Paulo, which gave her some of the practical information contained in her novel; Parque industrial remains a singular publication event as the only social realist novel signed (if pseudonymously) by a Brazilian woman writer. The text that has now appeared under the title of Paixão Pagu is, as I have stated, a private accounting of her life and feelings Galvão addressed to Ferraz at his request.

    Ministry of Culture and Museu de Arte To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Moderna de São Paulo present exhibition that inaugurated Brazilian modernism, Anita Malfatti: 100 Years of Modern Art gathers at FEB. 7 MAM’s Great Hall about seventy different works covering the path of one of the main names in TO Brazilian art in the 20th century. Anita Malfatti’s exhibition in 1917 was crucial to the emergence of the group who would champion modern art in Brazil, so much so that APR. 30, critic Paulo Mendes de Almeida considered her as the “most historically critical character in the 2017 1922 movement.” Regina Teixeira de Barros’ curatorial work reveals an artist who is sensitive to trends and discussions in the first half of the 20th century, mindful of her status and her choices. This exhibition at MAM recovers drawings and paintings by Malfatti, divided into three moments in her path: her initial years that consecrated her as “trigger of Brazilian modernism”; the time she spent training in Paris and her naturalist production; and, finally, her paintings with folk themes. With essays by Regina Teixeira de Barros and GREAT Ana Paula Simioni, this edition of Moderno MAM Extra is an invitation for the public to get to know HALL this great artist’s choices.

  • Chapter.11.Brazilian Cdr.Cdr
    BRAZIL Chapter 11 Art, Literature and Poetry Brazil was colonized by Portugal in the middle of the 16th century. In those early times, owing to the primitive state of Portuguese civilization there, not much could be done in regard to art expression. The original inhabitants of the land, pre-Columbian Indigenous peoples, most likely produced various forms of art, but very little is known about this. Little remains, except from elaborate feather items used as body adornments by all different tribes and specific cultures like the Marajoara, who left sophisticated painted pottery. So, Brazilian art - in the Western sense of art - began in the late 16th century and, for the greater part of its evolution until early 20th century, depended wholly on European standards. 170 BRAZIL Pre-Columbian traditions Main article: Indigenous peoples in Brazil Santarém culture. Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi Bororo Indian with feather headdress and body painting 171 BRAZIL The oldest known art in Brazil is the cave paintings in Serra da Capivara National Park in the state of Piauí, dating back to c. 13,000 BC. More recent examples have been found in Minas Gerais and Goiás, showing geometric patterns and animal forms. One of the most sophisticated kinds of Pre- Columbian artifact found in Brazil is the sophisticated Marajoara pottery (c. 800–1400 AD), from cultures flourishing on Marajó Island and around the region of Santarém, decorated with painting and complex human and animal reliefs. Statuettes and cult objects, such as the small carved-stone amulets called muiraquitãs, also belong to these cultures. The Mina and Periperi cultures, from Maranhão and Bahia, produced interesting though simpler pottery and statuettes.

  • ART DECO and BRAZILIAN MODERNISM a Dissertation
    SLEEK WORDS: ART DECO AND BRAZILIAN MODERNISM A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy in Spanish By Patricia A. Soler, M.S. Washington, DC January 23, 2014 Copyright by Patricia A. Soler All rights reserved ii SLEEK WORDS: ART DECO AND BRAZILIAN MODERNISM Patricia A. Soler, M.S. Thesis advisor: Gwen Kirkpatrick, Ph.D. ABSTRACT I explore Art Deco in the Brazilian Modernist movement during the 1920s. Art Deco is a decorative arts style that rose to global prominence during this decade and its proponents adopted and adapted the style in order to nationalize it; in the case of Brazil, the style became nationalized primarily by means of the application of indigenous motifs. The Brazilian Modernists created their own manifestations of the style, particularly in illustration and graphic design. I make this analysis by utilizing primary source materials to demonstrate the style’s prominence in Brazilian Modernism and by exploring the handcrafted and mechanical techniques used to produce the movement’s printed texts. I explore the origins of the Art Deco style and the decorative arts field and determine the sources for the style, specifically avant-garde, primitivist, and erotic sources, to demonstrate the style’s elasticity. Its elasticity allowed it to be nationalized on a global scale during the 1920s; by the 1930s, however, many fascist-leaning forces co- opted the style for their own projects. I examine the architectural field in the Brazil during the 1920s.

  • Bridging the Atlantic and Other Gaps: Artistic Connections Between Brazil and Africa – and Beyond Roberto Conduru
    BRIDGING THE ATLANTIC AND OTHER GAPS: ARTISTIC CONNECTIONS BETWEEN BRAZIL AND AFRICA – AND BEYOND ROBERTO CONDURU London Snow Africa, London Hole Brazil 1998–99 consists of a pair of images captured by Milton Machado on the streets of London: a snow-covered map of Africa and a hole in the asphalt resembling the map of Brazil. Beyond questioning the political dimensions of cartography, the work provides an interesting means of access to connections between the visual arts and the question of Afro-Brazilian socio-cultural influences.1 Its apparently literal title possesses a sonority that resonates with other meanings: difference, identification, domination. It leads us to consider how relations between Brazil and Africa are often forged by external mediators, artists not necessarily of African descent, establishing diffuse networks of meaning in the Atlantic and configuring unique images of Africa in Brazil. It also allows us to understand how, regardless of the fact that it is a constant in the process of Brazilian artistic modernisation, Afro-Brazilian hybridity is infrequently perceived and analysed, an absence that correlates with Brazilian society’s more general silence regarding African descent. AFROMODERNITY IN BRAZIL Afro-Brazilian influences are both inherent in and essential to the understanding of Brazilian culture. However, these connections take place in different modes and with varying degrees of intensity over time and space, certain moments and places being of particular interest to the process of artistic modernisation. One such conjunction took place between the late 1800s and the early twentieth century in the academic milieu of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Bahia, within the context of the intensification of the abolitionist process, the end of slavery and the beginning of the Republican regime.

  • Anita Malfatti Suscitou Enorme Polêmica Ao Expor Suas Tintas Expressionistas No Brasil Do Começo Do Século XX
    31 de julho a 26 de setembro de 2010 Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil – Rio de Janeiro Pioneira da pintura moderna, Anita Malfatti suscitou enorme polêmica ao expor suas tintas expressionistas no Brasil do começo do século XX. As duras críticas que recebeu, principalmente do célebre escritor – então jornalista – Monteiro Lobato, a transformaram em uma espécie de ícone de uma nova era. Prontamente defendida e adotada por aqueles que seriam os pi- lares da construção de uma visão modernizadora de nossa cultura, os futuros modernistas Mário e Oswald de Andrade, Tarsila do Amaral e Menotti Del Picchia, Anita tinha a ousadia de fugir das amarras so- ciais que cerceavam a mulher da época e se colocar na posição de vanguarda ao retratar – de maneira distante do academicismo em voga – personagens marginalizados dos centros urbanos. Com a exposição Anita Malfatti – 120 anos de nascimento, o Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil reafirma seu compromisso com a de- mocratização e acesso à cultura, oferecendo a seu público a oportu- nidade de admirar a obra desta que é considerada uma das maiores pintoras brasileiras. Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil As a pioneer in modern painting, Anita Malfatti caused great polemic with her expressionist paintings in Brazil in early 20th century. She was hardly criticized, particularly by noted writer Monteiro Lobato, still a jour- nalist then, and such critics changed her into an icon of the new era. Promptly defended and adopted by those who would be the pil- lars of a renovating view of our culture, future modernists Mário de Andrade, Oswald de Andrade, Tarsila do Amaral and Menotti Del Picchia, Anita dared to question the strict social models imposed to women and assume the challenging position of vanguard when she showed – not using the academicism then in vogue – marginalized characters of urban centers.

As exposições de Segall, Malfatti e Goeldi no início do modernismo brasileiro Profa. Dra. Vera Beatriz Siqueira (UERJ) Resumo: Desde 2002 venho desenvolvendo o projeto “Estilo e instituição”, no qual analisei as estratégias e os efeitos da institucionalização da arte moderna e contemporânea no Brasil, a partir do estudo de artistas significativos para a modernidade estética no país. A partir de 2008, a idéia central do projeto é pensar no significado de certos eventos artísticos e culturais, bastante variados no tempo, de forma a, a partir desses estudos parciais, entre dúvidas e lacunas, ir formando uma história não linear, sem teleologia ou finalismo. Entre os fatos que elegi, e que gostaria de apresentar nesta comunicação, encontra- se a trinca de exposições de Lasar Segall em 1913, Anita Malfatti em 1917 e Goeldi em 1921, todos artistas de formação expressionista, com repercussões críticas polêmicas ou negativas no quadro do incipiente modernismo brasileiro. Analisar a significação histórica e cultural deste fato é objetivo central de minha pesquisa. Palavras-chave: Exposições de arte; expressionismo no Brasil; arte moderna brasileira Since 2002 is being developed the project "Style and institution", in which I analyzed the strategies and the effects of the institutionalization of the modern art and contemporary in Brazil, studying the cases of significant artists for the modernity esthetics in the country. From 2008, the central idea of the project is to think of the meaning of certain cultural and artistic events varied in the time, from which partial studies, between doubts and gaps, is intended to be formed a new history, without teleology or finalism.
