José Antônio da Silva (1909-1996) : Pintar o Brasil
From 12 April to 6 July 2025
FreeThis first monographic exhibition in France dedicated to the Brazilian artist José Antônio da Silva features some forty paintings from private and institutional Brazilian collections. José Antônio da Silva was an atypical figure, born into the farming world of the Sao Paulo region at the beginning of the 20th century, brimming with creative energy, a painter, orator, writer and singer. He is the embodiment of the committed, self-taught popular artist whose originality has sometimes earned him the nickname of the ‘Brazilian Van Gogh’. Recognised for his colourist qualities by two eminent critics at a local exhibition in 1946, José Antônio da Silva found his way into galleries, museums and fairs (the Sao-Paulo and Venice Biennales on several occasions). His initially cheerful paintings, strongly influenced by folklore, are above all a means of denouncing the harsh social reality of the Brazilian peasant world: the recurrence of subjects such as intensive plantations, destroyed landscapes and climatic hazards are all messages delivered by his work on the consequences of globalisation for the rural world to which the artist is viscerally attached. Discovering this painter will undoubtedly enable us to measure the links that his work weaves with the productions of Art Brut collected by Jean Dubuffet as early as 1948.
