Tropicalia


Tropicália: A Revolution in Brazilian Culture
Tropicália is the first comprehensive exhibition to explore one of the most significant chapters in modern cultural history, a period beginning in the late 1960s when daring experiments in Brazilian art, music, film, architecture and theater converged—and ignited. Although suppressed by an increasingly oppressive military dictatorship, the moment produced a counterculture that has influenced successive generations of artists, even up to the present day.



Went to this show at the Bronx Museum of Art last Sunday. I must admit that I was drawn in by seeing a piece by Assume Vivid Astro Focus, but the rest of the show was just as incredible. So many awesome graphic ideas that I will be stealing in the future.
