About

Why this artist matters now

Lasar Segall was a Lithuanian-born Brazilian painter and sculptor whose figurative work fused German Expressionism with the tropical palette and social realities of São Paulo, where he settled in 1923. His paintings of immigrants, favela inhabitants, and persecuted communities render collective displacement through angular, compressed compositions and muted earth tones. The Museu Lasar Segall in São Paulo preserves his estate and archive.
