Paulo de Tarso Mendes de Almeida (São Paulo, May 28, 1905 – São Paulo, 1986) was a Brazilian lawyer, jurist, poet, writer and art critic. He graduated in Law, class of 1931, from Faculdade do Largo de São Francisco, he was state attorney until his retirement. However, he stood out more in areas other than legal. He began his life as a writer with the publication of a book of poetry entitled Cartazes (1928). From the 1930s onwards, he followed all the avant-garde movements that took place in São Paulo, being one of the founders of the Sociedade Pró-Arte Moderna and the São Paulo Artistic Family. The arts always excited him and that's why he wrote chronicles about cinema in the Diário Nacional and, later, about plastic arts, in several newspapers and literary magazines in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco and even Argentina and Uruguay. His main work was the book which he entitled De Anita ao Museu. It is an indispensable work for anyone who wants to know the history of the modernist movement in São Paulo, as the author attended and participated in most of the events he describes and does so with complete fidelity. From the beginning of the movement, that is, from the exhibition by Anita Malfatti in 1917, the narrated facts go through the years until arriving at the creation of the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art and the São Paulo Biennial, recounting in fluent prose the events that occurred and its interesting characters. He held the positions of artistic director of the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo, in 1959 and 1960, secretary general of the Bienal de São Paulo and Brazilian commissioner of the XXX Bienal de Veneza in 1960. Condition: Very good / Good.
