"BUREAU ART GALLERY - 23 YEARS ON BUSINESS"
This is a magnificent artwork (drawing) attributed to Emiliano Di Cavalcanti showing the image of a womam with her son in the lap.
Emiliano Augusto Cavalcanti de Albuquerque Melo (September 6, 1897-October 26, 1976), known as Di Cavalcanti, was a Brazilian painter who sought to produce a Brazilian art free of European influences. His wife was the painter Noêmia Mourão, who would be an inspiration in his works in the later 1930s.
Di Cavalcanti was obviously obsessed with the female body, since very many representations are to be found within the works he produced. The street scenes depicted by Cavalcanti are cheerful, characterized by a palette of bright colors and the depictions of everyday life in a normal, non-romanticized way. They evoke no strong political undercurrent, as do the works of such Mexican muralists of the 1930s and '40s as Diego Rivera and David Siqueiros. The works produced by these artists were part of the revolutionary movement in opposition of the new revolutionary government who came to power in Mexico. Di Cavalcanti on the other hand refrained from overt political representations, although he himself was in a pursuit of perfecting a pure Brazilian art which had a clear break with European influences.
He tried through the creation of the Semana de Arte in 1922 and the Bienals in 1951 and 1953 to push for a true Brazilian art which was to be seen as separated from European stylistic influences. This was a dream and philosophy which can be seen as an ideal for Di Cavalcanti which was never found as one can see stylistic influences from the Italian Renaissance, Muralism, and the European Modernists.
