中文简介：

Tarsila do Amaral的画作《月亮》（1928年）是一幅高度风格化的荒凉夜曲，是艺术家为巴西创造一种新的民族表达形式的愿望的产物。在《月亮》和20世纪20年代末的其他画作中，Tarsila do Amaral成功地借鉴了现代欧洲绘画和巴西的流行文化和土著传说，将它们转化为新的东西。策展人Beverly Adams探索了Do Amaral作为巴西现代主义创造者的身份，以及她对欧洲当代创新的影响。

英文简介：

Tarsila do Amaral's painting The Moon (1928), a highly stylized, desolate nocturne, grew from the artist's desire to create a new national form of expression for Brazil. In The Moon and other paintings of the late 1920s, do Amaral successfully "cannibalized" modern European painting and Brazilian popular culture and Indigenous lore to transform them into something new. In this volume of the MoMA One on One series, curator Beverly Adams investigates do Amaral's unique negotiation of her Brazilian identity and the contemporary innovations of Europe, a balancing act on which she built a modern art for her country.
