GRUPO DE BAGÉ

Overview

Grupo de Bagé was an artistic movement that emerged in Rio Grande do Sul in the 1940s, led by painters and engravers Glênio Bianchetti, Glauco Rodrigues, Carlos Scliar and Danúbio Gonçalves. Linked to Taller de Gráfica Popular do México and the Communist Party, they turned printmaking into a way of popularizing art, with realistic themes and social denunciation. The documentary reveals the appropriation of these artists of the brazilian arts, from the pampas in Rio Grande do Sul to the palaces of Brasília.
