Abstract

Tarsila de Amaral’s Abaporu is perhaps the most canonical image of 20th-century Brazilian art, but this was not always the case. In what way and for what reasons has the Abaporu become a massive emblem that is reproduced on clothing and in memes? This article aims to answer this question through a history that includes aesthetic, economic, geopolitical and historical issues.
