The artwork titled “obra-tarsila-do-amaral” by the artist Tarsila do Amaral belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) and Surrealism movements and falls within the landscape genre.
In the artwork, a captivating landscape scene is depicted, characterized by stylized and vibrant elements. Dominated by warm hues of orange and yellow, the sky is illustrated with concentric semi-circles reminiscent of radiating sunlight or heat waves. In the foreground, a placid blue body of water hosts several abstract, amorphous beige forms, potentially symbolizing reclining or resting figures. To the left, a distinct, curved form resembling a tree or abstract sculpture contrasts with more traditional green rounded trees on the right. The composition juxtaposes the natural and the surreal, creating a harmonious yet otherworldly scenic view. The distinctive use of bold colors and simplified shapes reflects Tarsila do Amaral’s unique artistic vision and her contribution to modern art.
