Summary

Upon returning to Brazil in April 1932, after four years of residence in Paris, Lasar Segall (1891 - 1957) settled with his family on the street Afonso Celso at home designed by his brother in-law and architect Gregori Warchavchik, and that today is the Museum Lasar Segall. In December of the same year, the Sociedade Pró-Arte Moderna - SPAM was founded in 1932 in the city of São Paulo, with a costume ball called for the celebration of the new year. Among the founding partners were Lasar e Jenny Segal, Gregori and Mina Warchavchik, in addition to key names of the modern period such as Olívia Guedes Penteado, Paulo Prado, Tarsila do Amaral and Victor Brecheret. The purpose of the SPAM was to disseminate modern art and disseminate avant-garde proposals in São Paulo. For the necessary funds for these activities, the SPAM would promote for the following two years, colorful carnival balls, whose decorations of the halls and direction of the celebrations, of great imagination and fantasy, would be in charge of Lasar Segall, that since his student days in Dresden had been involved with momesque celebrations. In celebration of the centennial of the Semana de Arte Moderna (1922-2022), the Museum Afro Brazil presents an exhibition that is a revival of the drawings made by Lasar Segall for the scenography of the Society of Modern Art "Sociedade Pró-Arte Moderna" (SPAM) in 1932.
