00:00So this exhibition explores a period of real flourishing of the arts in Brazil, running
00:23from roughly the 1910s to the 1970s.
00:27It was a period when artists, writers, thinkers were all wanting to really shape the direction
00:32of their young, ambitious country.
00:35And so in this exhibition, we've taken ten of the artists who are part of this movement
00:40that's now known as Brazilian Modernism, and we've dedicated a space to each of these artists
00:45so that our visitors can come and really explore in depth each artist's individual approach
00:50towards modernism.
00:57We have artists of Afro-Brazilian descent and indigenous descent, and so the artists
01:09themselves reflect the diversity of Brazil, but they also were reflecting that diversity
01:14in their art.
01:15There was, for a lot of these artists, being able to capture what made Brazil unique was
01:20a key thing that drove them.
