With the backdrop of not only the events but also the rhetoric that surrounded the creation of the first museum of modern art in Brazil, this essay aims to examine possible connections of the formation of an art collection observant of the ideas of "modern" and "abstract" with the emergence of an urban society in the country and certain interests of international politics during the Cold War.Downloads
