From June 29 of 2019 to March 16 of 2020, the exhibition presents the collection of the Museum Lasar Segall and integrates the network of partner institutions of the 34th Bienal de São Paulo.
Before moving to Brazil, Lasar Segall (1889, Vilnius, Lithuania – 1957, São Paulo, Brazil) lived in Germany between 1906 and 1923, where, by adhering to avant-garde aesthetics, he defied traditional artistic languages. After moving to Brazil, Segall joined the nascent modernist movement as one of its chief figures and became one of the great names of Brazilian modern art. During his artistic career, he wrote and published texts, spoke in conferences and, above all, painted, engraved and sculpted incessantly.
