In recent years, the artistic achievements of two 20th century pioneers have been brought to a global audience.

The Picasso of Brazil.

In 2018, a major new exhibition opened at New York's Museum of Modern Art, MoMA.

The show brought together more than 100 works by a single Brazilian artist.

Tarsila do Amarão.

Although widely celebrated in her native country, the artist was relatively unknown outside Brazil.

So who was Tarsila?

Born in 1886 in a small town near Sao Paulo, Tarsila do Amarão is considered the mother of modern art in Brazil.

She first developed a love for art after her parents sent her to study in Spain.

She returned to Europe a few years later and settled in Paris.

Several artists there, including Picasso, were beginning to experiment with new forms, less realistic and more abstract.

The new approaches continued to influence Tarsila after she returned to Brazil.

Approaches to art in Brazil at the time were relatively conservative.

traditional European styles dominated, with works mainly featuring natural, religious or historical scenes in soft colours.

Tarsila decided to take a different direction.

I want to be the painter of my country, she wrote.

Her images began to reflect

Brazil's diverse identity, a mix of native, African and European peoples.

She used strong, vivid colours to paint real -life scenes of the nation's farmers, countryside and wildlife.

This had never been done before in Brazilian art.

One of Tarsila's most famous works is Abaporo, 1928.

The title combines two words from Tupi Guarani languages, meaning man who eats people.

The painting has a playful, surreal quality, but its look and feel are distinctly Brazilian.

The work and its title later inspired a Brazilian art movement called anthropophagia or cannibalism.

Brazilian artists began to take in or digest styles from other cultures and mix them with local influences.

The result was something uniquely Brazilian.

Tarsila do Amaral died in Sao Paulo in 1973, age 86, after a career spanning six decades.

But her artwork and legacy live on in her native Brazil.

For Brazilians, her recognition is kind of off the charts, says James Rondeau, director of the Art Institute of Chicago.

She is the Picasso of Brazil.

Now, with the MoMA exhibition and other international shows, Tarsila's art is being appreciated by a new audience of admirers around the world.

the secret photographer at first

they seemed like ordinary photographs a couple holding hands a child

standing by a dirty window a man daydreaming in a park

the images were hidden in boxes for years unseen except by the woman who took them vivian mayor but

when a collector bought some of the boxes at auction

he soon realized their contents were remarkable mayor's street scenes might seem ordinary, but they were actually very special.

Vivian Mayer was born in New York City in 1926, the daughter of French and Austrian immigrants.

For most of her early life, she moved between

New York and Europe.

In 1956, she moved to Chicago, where she worked as a nanny and caregiver.

In her free time, she walked the city streets, taking pictures and developing her photography skills.

It was a hobby she would continue for the rest of her life.

Mayer's black and white images mostly portray urban life, street scenes and regular people.

Residents carry out everyday tasks, shopping, riding on buses, walking in a park.

Often she took her pictures in secret.

People are caught acting naturally, unaware that they are being photographed.

Many of the photos reveal something personal and often deeply moving.

They show us the beauty, humor, pain and mystery of normal life.

In total, Mare took over 100 ,000 photographs, but she developed very few.

Instead, she kept most of the negatives and a few prints in boxes in a rented storage space in Chicago.

Toward the end of her life, she was unable to pay the rent to the storage company.

So the boxes, with her work inside, were sold at auction.

In 2007, John Maloof purchased the contents of one of the storage lockers.

Realising the quality of the images, he added a selection of Mare's photographs to an image -sharing website.

Thousands of people worldwide viewed the photos, and many went viral.

Mare's photos began to appear in books and exhibitions.

In 2015, a movie about her life, Finding Vivian Mare, was nominated for an Academy Award.

It is not known why

Mare kept her photo secret or how she might feel about her worldwide fame.

She died in April 2009 in a nursing home in the Chicago suburbs.

Much of Mare's life remains a mystery.

But her talent as a visual storyteller, for so long hidden in darkness, has finally seen the light of day.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
