The Pinacoteca is a visual arts museum, with an emphasis on Brazilian production from the 19th century to the present. It belongs to the Secretary of Culture of the State of São Paulo. It was founded in 1905 by the Government of the State of São Paulo and is the oldest art museum in the city. It is installed in the former building of the Faculty of Arts and Crafts, designed at the end of the 19th century by the architect Ramos de Azevedo. In the 1990s it underwent an extensive renovation designed by the architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha. Pinacoteca houses around thirty exhibitions and receives around 450,000 visitors a year. The museum's main focus is to provide the general public with a better visual arts experience with its collection, construction and historical relevance.
Next to the Pinacoteca is the Parque da Luz, also known as Jardim da Luz, created in 1798 as a botanical garden and opened to the public in 1825, becoming the first leisure space for the population of São Paulo. In 1981, the park was listed as a historical heritage and today it houses about thirty sculptures that are part of the collection of the Pinacoteca de São Paulo. Among the artists presented are Victor Brecheret, Amílcar de Castro, Maria Martins, Lygia Reinach and many others. In 2004, continuing the consolidation process, the Pinacoteca de São Paulo incorporated the Largo General Osório building, which originally housed the warehouses and offices of the Estrada de Ferro Sorocabana. Renovated by architect Haron Cohen, the place is renamed Pina Estação and receives part of the Pinacoteca's temporary exhibition program. On the ground floor and on the 3rd floor of Pina Estação is the Memorial of the Resistance of São Paulo, which emerged with the adaptation to a museum of a part of the building that was also the headquarters of the State Department of Political and Social Order of São Paulo (Deops/SP ), between the years 1940 and 1983. The institution is dedicated to the preservation of memories of resistance and political repression in republican Brazil. Among its achievements are a long-term exhibition and a program of temporary exhibitions.
Pina Luz has three floors with exhibition rooms and is the only museum in São Paulo that has 700 works, spread over 2,000 square meters, with the History of Art in Brazil from the colonial period to the 1970s. , but it had been listed since 1981. With 82 thousand square meters, the garden has several Brazilian sculptures in its lawns, two water mirrors and two lakes.

The Modern Art Week was an artistic-cultural event that took place at the Municipal Theater of São Paulo from February 13 to 18, 1922. The event brought together several dance, music, poetry recitals and exhibition of works (painting, sculpture and lectures).
The artists involved proposed a new vision of art, based on an innovative aesthetic inspired by European avant-gardes. Together, they sought a social and artistic renewal in the country, evidenced in the "Week of 22".
The event shocked part of the population and brought to light a new vision about the artistic processes, as well as the presentation of a “more Brazilian” art.
There was a break with academic art, contributing to an aesthetic change and to the Modernist Movement in Brazil.
Mário de Andrade was one of the central figures and main organizer of the Modern Art Week of 22. He was alongside other organizers: the writer Oswald de Andrade and the plastic artist Di Cavalcanti.

In 1922, when the country's independence completed one hundred years, Brazil was going through several social, political and economic changes (advent of industrialization, end of World War I).
The need to resort to a new aesthetic arises, and from there the "Modern Art Week" was born.
It was made up of artists, writers, musicians and painters who were looking for innovations. The intention was to create a way to break with the parameters that prevailed in the arts in general.
Most of the artists were descendants of the coffee oligarchies of São Paulo, who, together with the farmers of Minas, formed a policy that became known as “Café com Leite”.
This factor was decisive for the event, since it was supported by the government of Washington Luís, at the time governor of the State of São Paulo.
In addition, most of the artists - who had the financial means to travel and study in Europe - brought different artistic trends to the country. This is how the modernist movement was formed in Brazil.
With this, São Paulo demonstrated (in comparison with Rio de Janeiro) new horizons and a leading figure in the Brazilian cultural scene.

For Di Cavalcante, the week of art:

``It would be a week of literary and artistic scandals, of putting the stirrups in the belly of the Paulista bourgeoisie.´´

This is how for three days (February 13, 15 and 17) this artistic, political and cultural manifestation brought together irreverent and contesting young artists.

The event was opened by a lecture by writer Graça Aranha: “The aesthetic emotion of Modern Art”; followed by musical performances and artistic exhibitions. The event was full and it was a relatively quiet night.
On the second day, there was a musical presentation, a lecture by the writer and artist Menotti del Picchia, and the reading of the poem “Os Sapos” by Manuel Bandeira.
Ronald de Carvalho did the reading, because Bandeira was in a crisis of tuberculosis. In this poem, the criticism of Parnassian poetry was severe, which caused public indignation, many boos, barking sounds and neighing.
Finally, on the third day, the theater was emptier. There was a musical presentation with a mix of instruments, exhibited by Villa Lobos from Rio de Janeiro.
That day, the musician took the stage wearing a coat and wearing shoes on one foot and flip-flops on the other. The audience booed, thinking it was an outrageous attitude, but it was later explained that the artist had a callus on his foot.

During that week, the new language marked the construction of creative freedom, but the scenario was not conducive to transformation. In the midst of the Old Republic, conservatism was used to the most archaic European aesthetic models, and the movement was marked by innovative ideas, which abolished the aesthetic perfection appreciated in the 19th century.
Among the modernist artists stand out Oswald de Andrade, in literature, Víctor Brecheret, in sculpture, and Anita Malfatti, in painting, the latter responsible for the first Brazilian modernist exhibition, in 1917. His works, influenced by Cubism, Expressionism and Futurism, scandalized society at the time.
The subject of much criticism, the Modern Art Week only gained importance over the years, and its main legacy was to detach Brazilian art from the reproduction of European standards, initiating the construction of an essentially national culture.

Literature in 22: Authors and their Works

# data[].attributes.body
In the midst of so many changes, so many transgressions and so many arts a new literary movement emerged: Modernism. This literary landmark came to oppose the rigid metrics, and the academic literary past, which always preached a cultured language and little freedom in writing. The changes that followed in the literary productions after the Modern Art Week were clear, in poetry and prose ideas and feelings began to be expressed in a more colloquial way, with freer verses and subjective punctuation.

The main authors of the literary works were:

Mario de Andrade: who in the same year published a book of poems called ``Paulicéia Desvairada´´;

Oswald de Andrade: from this period the most ideologically outstanding works are the ``Manifesto Antropófago´´, the novel ``Serafim Ponte´´ and the play ``O Rei da Vela´´;

Graça Aranha: has two famous works, considered the main ones: the play ``Malazarte´´ that was presented in the week of modern art in 22 and his most important work of pre-modernism the ``Canaã´´;

Ronald de Carvalho: published in 1913 his first book ``glorious light´´ was of great importance in the week of modern art of 22, with verses recited at the opening of the event and with a conference of its own;

Menotti Del Picchia: ``Juca Mulato´´ is his debut book in the literary world. Published in 1917 (five years before the week of modern art), it was considered the starting point of Modernism on the national scene;

Guilherme de Almeida: wrote in 1921, ´´the essay of Natalika´´ and the acts of the verse ``Scheherazada e Narciso (the flower of a man)´´. In addition to these he published ``Once upon a time'' in 1922;

Sérgio Milliet: he becomes an advocate and encourager of new ideas about art and literature disseminated by the group and follows the development of new theories about art.

Di Cavalcanti and Anita Malfatti were some of the artists who exhibited their works at the event, which took place in São Paulo. Tarsila do Amaral, a famous painter of the Brazilian modernist movement, was in Paris at the time, but joined the group that led the demonstration shortly afterwards.
