Sumario:In the thirties and forties of the 20thcentury many Jewish painters, sculptors, graphic artists, illustrators and engravers fled the Nazi persecutions to Brazil. The majority of them was influenced by the multiple modernistic repertories e movements in Europe. By their activity and works they contributed to consolidate the modern art in Brazilian art which was dominated by the academic art until then. The refugees Agi Straus, Alice Brill, Gisela Eichbaum e Eleonore Koch who came to Brazil as adolescent or child made successful careers as artists. In their works of art they combined elements of their German-Jewish cultural heritage as well as aspects of the Brazilian formation and experience.
