Description
Summary:Tarsila Amaral is one of the first and foremost names of Brazilian Art. While very known, few are aware of her exuberant life, full of vibrant events that, through her life choices, became a precious collection of the more significant paintings of all times. This paper introduces some facts about Tarsila´s life and how they were transformed into art, under the viewpoint of Psychoanalysis. Her intense lovers, the losses and the outstanding participation in the "Modernista" Movement, are reviewed and seasoned with psychoanalitic concepts of “drive” and “sublimation”, in the lessons of Freud and Lacan - propellers of artistic creation. Tarsila was passion and inspiration for writers, painters, politicians and poets, but independently she built her magnificent work and her own style to create and live, proceeding, as Lacan would say, the logic of the fantasy.
