MAZZE CERCHIARO, Marina; PAREDES VALIN, Roberta  and  SOUZA VIANA, Morgana. Between Fragments and Narratives: Archives, Women, and Brazilian Modernism. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2019, vol.41, n.114, pp.181-199.  Epub Feb 20, 2020. ISSN 0185-1276.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2019.114.2678.

We discuss the archives of two Brazilian art historians: Marta Rossetti Batista and Aracy Amaral, held at the Institute of Brazilian Studies, as sources of reflection on the construction of the memory of Anita Malfatti, Tarsila do Amaral and Adriana Janacópulos. We demonstrate these archives can be read as biographies of artists and as autobiographies of historians, where the images these scholars constructed of the artists and fragments of images of these historians, can be perceived.

Keywords : Brazilian modernism; women artists; archives; biographies.
