Creator of iconic paintings that intertwine with a canonical aesthetic of Brazilian representation—the landscape, the people, the festivals, the work, and the customs—Tarsila is one of the most acclaimed names in the history of Brazilian art, yet at the same time, a figure whose private life is very little known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eRaised in a conservative family, landowners in the interior of São Paulo, Tarsila broke through the moralistic barriers of her time in the early 20th century to become a world-renowned artist. However, anyone who thinks her life was nothing but glorious is mistaken. Disappointments in love and betrayal, attacks on her art and honor, reactionary judgments against her attempt to break away from bourgeois life, and even accusations that she collaborated with Getúlio Vargas's political police are all indicative of the series of misfortunes that haunted her throughout her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Mary Del Priore's writing style brings us closer to Tarsila in a unique way. This biography's narrative combines the lyricism of storytelling with the rigor of archival research, gradually revealing flavors that underpin an unusual profile of the great modernist—both in the iconographic revolution her images represented and in the invention of a new position for women in São Paulo society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTarsila: A Sweet-Bitter Life\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with one of the public's most beloved artists, in a delightful read, full of revelations.
