Silly Woman

Silly Woman, in Portuguese A boba, is a painting by Brazilian Modernist Anita Malfatti; this title has also been translated as The idiot or The fool.

Anita Catarina Malfatti (December 2, 1889 – November 6, 1964) is heralded as the first Brazilian artist to introduce European and American forms of Modernism to Brazil. Her solo exhibition in Sao Paulo, from 1917–1918, was controversial at the time, and her expressionist style and subject were revolutionary for the complacently old-fashioned art expectations of Brazilians who were searching for a national identity in art, but who were not prepared for the influences Malfatti would bring to the country.

This painting is from the MAC Museum collec...
