Meet Abaporu, a painting that sparked a movement in Brazilian modern art.

Commissioned by writer Oswald de Andrade, Abaporu's inspiration led to the antropofágico movement.

With vibrant colors and simplified forms, Abaporu celebrates Brazilian culture and identity.

Abaporu's creation was a birthday gift to Oswald de Andrade from Tarsila do Amaral in 1928.

The painting's figure was inspired by Tupi-Guarani mythology, with Abaporu meaning 'man who eats human flesh'.
