The artwork titled “Manacá,” created by Tarsila do Amaral in 1927, belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and is a depiction of a flower painting.
The artwork portrays a floral composition featuring vibrant and stylized representations of flowers. At the center, a tall green stem holds an array of petals arranged in a circular pattern, with a mix of blue and pink hues accented by yellow centers. Surrounding this central flower are elongated green leaves and additional clusters of pink and blue buds. The background is adorned with soft, undulating blue shapes, which evoke a sense of depth and natural scenery. The use of bold, simplified shapes and bright, contrasting colors exemplifies the Naïve Art movement’s characteristic focus on pure, unrefined forms and an intuitive approach to composition.
