'Realism' rubbery idea in French art show in Brazil SAO PAULO -- A retrospective of French- and French-inspired art from 1860 to 1960 on display in Brazil is taking a liberal approach to its theme of "realism." The exhibition, currently in Sao Paulo's Museum of Art (MASP), features everyday people or scenes painted by Renoir, Manet, Cezanne and Toulouse-Lautrec -- but also surrealist visions imagined by masters Salvador Dali, Joan Miro and Max Ernst. But while the theme, and its subversive opposite, battle it out on the walls, the organizers of the show are hailing its ability to attract 100,000-plus visitors. The popularity of the exhibit makes it one of the prime events of a Year of France in Brazil cultural program that is currently feting all things Gallic in this Latin American nation. |
