My favorite painting for today is Caipira Picando Fumo by Almeida Junior.This painting was made in 1893 and now resides in Pinacoteca do Estado de Sao Paulo in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This painting is one of my favorites because it portrays the harsh life of farmers or Caipiras in Brazil.It also gives a sense of harsh life through using light colors but making them seem like the paint is dark.
This painting also depicts the poverty that was existent in Brazil in the 19th century through amazing realism. The realism is this paintings acts as a contradiction to the abstract movements occurring around the beginning of the 20th century.
