The artwork, titled “São Paulo,” is created by Tarsila do Amaral and belongs to the art movement Cubism. This cityscape genre painting showcases a stylized representation of urban life with a unique blend of geometric forms and vivid colors.
The artwork features a collection of buildings of varying heights and shapes, positioned against a clear blue sky. The composition is marked by the use of simplified geometric forms to depict the architecture and urban elements, including a bridge, a trolley, and green spaces. Notable within the scene are distinctive elements such as a large green tree, a red fuel pump, and street lamps with large spherical lights. The palette primarily consists of bold, flat colors with a smooth finish, exuding a sense of modernity and abstraction. The overall effect is a harmonious yet abstract depiction of the dynamic essence of São Paulo, rendered through the lens of Cubist aesthetics.
