Abstract

After a season in the State of Pernambuco, the painter and illustrator Carlos Chambelland (1884-1950), judging to have finded the true essence of the Brazilian culture, began to produce a series of pictures that figured the human types of the northeastern hinterland, its ways of life and environment. In the present article, trying to better understand these pictures of Chambelland, we analyze their dialog with the regionalist trends that marked the Brazilian visual arts since the mid-19th century XIX and how they were inserted in the debates concerning the Brazilian cultural identity, one of the prominent concerns in the intellectual circles of the so-called First Republic.
