Historian Maria Luiza Tucci Carneiro publishes 'Impressos Subversivos' on graphic arts resistance in Brazil (1924-1964)
The book 'Impressos Subversivos: Arte, Cultura e Política no Brasil 1924-1964' by historian Maria Luiza Tucci Carneiro examines how graphic arts served as instruments of political dissent. Released by Intermeios, it draws on the Deops police archives in São Paulo to safeguard subversive content. Carneiro identifies various contributors, including trained artists, political exiles, and anonymous creators labeled 'proletarian artists' by Mário de Andrade. Among the notable individuals featured are Moyses Kalinas, Angelo de las Heras, and Tarsila do Amaral. The work critiques the oppressive tactics of Getúlio Vargas's regime and links historical trends to modern political challenges, encouraging readers to address ongoing violence and governmental neglect.
